DIY Wrap dress with puffy sleeves

in voilk •  4 months ago

    Of all dresses that make one feel confident and look gorgeous with a hint of simplicity, it is a wrap dress.
    I love wrap dresses and will sure make a lot for my wardrobe.
    There are so many ups to it; a one-piece outfit that looks like a two-piece not to forget how it sinches at the waist to show that figure, if you like that sort of thing.

    First, as always I drew out what I had in mind to create.

    Then I cut out all the parts I would need to create the dress.

    Then I joined the different parts together.
    The top, the skirt part, the puffy sleeves and the two belts;

    This is the skirt part above and the skirt part opened wide below.

    Where I had a dilemma, was attaching the belts and creating a hole for one of the belts to pass. I created gathers at the tip of the belt and then attached them to the edge of both the skirt and top.

    What I discovered is that in sewing and other handy jobs, you need to have a truckload of patience and resilience. Even when you’ve made a mistake, use it to create a new design. That is why it is said to leave an allowance for error, to correct a mistake more easily.
