DIY V-neck Tiered Dress

Hello, I made three dresses to wear on my trip to Bangkok during the Easter holiday and this dress is the first one I made. I will share another two in the next posts.  I started working on this dress two weeks before the trip and I'm glad I managed to finish it on time, as well as my other dresses.  This dress was fun and relaxing to sew because I made one before in a midi length, so this time I shortened the length until my knee and sewed it easily. For the fabric, I used a printed rayon from my stash and white cotton lining leftover from my previous make. For the pattern, I used my self-drafted pattern. At first, I didn't want to add the lining but I had to because the fabric was a bit transparent, the lining fabric wasn't enough and I connected the pieces to make the back skirt. Here is the look of the fabric after cutting and the skirt was pieces of a rectangle: the first tiers - front and back, the last tier on the fold ( I forgot to take the p

Black lace top layered over undershirt is eye-catching and fabulously feminime, that's why I wanted to make this top so badly. And yes! I made it. I planned to made this top for palette-challenge-ss2012. Not only this lovely top but I made a dress with the same fabric. I will publish my dress on later post.

This top has gathered short sleeve, extended button for the waist line (this is my idea to created better waist line), and round neckline. The pattern is selfdrafted pattern by me. I used 1 yard black lace, same colour thread and black buttons.

For the gathered sleeve, I just slash the basic sleeve pattern in three and added 1.5 inch. Gather with hand stitching first before use the sewing machine.

For the neckline, I created the round neckline. I think the round neckline work best for my face:)  I used neck line facing from the same material, finished with hand stitching.

That's it everyone! Very simple style top but really beautiful (especially for me.. ) I will continue to posting my black lace dress as soon as possible.
Happy sewing!
