Hello All!
Here's another dress for you. I made this last year with fabric from Hobby Lobby. (They have such pretty fabrics!)

My grandmother had piping in her stash that matched the accents on the fabric!

The front skirt has two large pleats that line up (at least, in theory) with the bodice darts.

I like to tie it in the front, which crosses the ties in the back.
Of course, you can also tie it in the back...
Did you like this dress? Interested in learning how to make it? Please drop a line in the comments! Tutorials can be labor-intensive to create but I have one coming up soon, Lord willing, and ideas for a couple more. Feel free to request a topic or specific tutorial in the comments as well.
To God be the glory,
Miss Humphrey
Ooo that's so lovely!
ReplyDeleteIm going to hobby lobby to shop for fabric!!!
Thanks!
DeleteOf course! Beautiful fabric, beautiful dress!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteDear miss Humphrey,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely dress! I've been eagerly following your posts since I can only sew the basics and I'd love to learn how to make a dress for myself. I think I can copy my own measures from a T shirt and a skirt, but the only thing I see quite difficult is how to make the sleeves and sew them to the body. Could you explain that in detail? You are a great teacher so far. Thank you so much and keep on the good work you're doing :)
Thank you! I often have a hard time with making perfect sleeves. They can be tricky! I plan to include them in a dress tutorial in the future, so stay tuned :)
DeleteRachel,
DeleteI have created a post that talks about how I made sleeves for a dress recently. If you're still interested, here's the link: https://misshumphreysblog.blogspot.com/2023/06/how-i-made-this-dress-part-2sleeves.html
This is a beautiful floral country style dress.
