Hello Everyone. My name is Rena. This week, I am going to show you how to make this cute summer dress without a pattern.
I bought it from Ikea for my guest bedroom. I think It was only 4 pound something and then I realized that it was not the right size. so I have kept it for like a year now and I decided to transfer it into dress.
This is easy to make and just fun to wear for summer vacation.
I measure from my high bust down to my low bust to determine the length.
and I prepare the elastic band (0.5mm).
I just casually wrap myself with the elastic band and cut it.
I make it slightly tighter as you can see. and wrap the chest here and do the same as before.
I am done measuring and am cutting the fabrics here. just in case you are curious what sizes I cut. Please review the below sewing video .
I sew the shoulder ties first.
and put the front body and back body right side together.
fold this in half to mark center back & front. and fold it in half again to mark the quarter points.
The front & back have now been divided into 4 equal quarters.
Attach the shoulder ties at the points.
Make top/bottom casing for the elastic band to go through later.
Add Elastic bands.
Gather the tier and attach it. and That is it!
I have uploaded how to gather in detail. please find the last blog(link below) and check it out if you want to know step by step.
It doesn't need a zipper or a lining. so i think sewing beginner can try to make it.
The shoulder tie straps have added a little something extra. 😍 You can go with large or small bow tie shoulder dress options!
Please let me know if you have any question. Happy sewing to all. :)
