Sexy Hand-sewn dress project 2

Welcome to Veronica's Style

 In this day and age, multiple-style-in-one dress is catching the fashionista's attention very fast due to the fact that prices are soaring while salary increases are stalling.

A multi-style-in one dress allows one to be frugal without compromising style.

Mood of the day

Thought of the day
Here's my multi-style-in-one dress

  It would be even more cost saving if one would sew one's clothes...as for me since I don't have a sewing machine I did hand sewing....

Pretty simple to make

Took me just less than 2 hours to finish from measurements to cutting to stitching..with few breaks.

 .

How to wear them:

First as a sun-dress, loose and  flirty. Ideal for going out to the beach. With the bathing suit underneath you can simply slip out of it when about to take a plunge in the water.

Here's some options on the shoulder and décolletage without the belt

 Now here are the options when worn with the belt...a different belt can be used if desired.

This set is worn with no ribbons at the shoulder.

Adding a ribbon on the shoulder adds a little variation to the look.  

Sexy Hand Sewn Cocktail Dress

Ever been in a situation when you thought you have the tools to create something, only to find out that the  tool has already gone bust beyond repair after buying tons of materials to work on? Well I had that experience with my sewing machine....buying a new machine is not in my immediate priority list but this is not something that will prevent me from  creating- this only means a change in plan, design, and tools...

So instead of machine sewing, I did hand sewing...the design is modified to simple sheath dress instead of one with cinching and draping but still creates  a beautiful silhouette.

 

Presenting my hand sewn cocktail dress ......

 
The fabric is Jersey.... the good thing about this fabric is that it doesn't fray, thus there is no need to fold or edge stitch the hem, neckline and armhole....just measure, cut and stitch the shoulder and side.

 
Measure the widest part of the body and use this as the width of the dress. Some have the breast area as the wider part but as for me it is my hips. Oh don't forget to add half an inch extra for the seam.

Measure the length from the shoulder to mid thigh or an inch or two  above the knee. It can be floor length if a gown is desired.

In addition, I made a bracelet cum headband cum necklace out of the excess fabric.
