Hey lovelies ❤️ It's your favorite girl @debbie-ese 😍 Welcome to my blog 🤗
In this post I will be reviewing one of the designs I have made a couple of times for my customers. The design has been trendy for some years now but it seems it isn't going out of relevance any time soon. I still have about two of the designs that I'm yet to make for two of my customers - one is ankara and the other is kampala fabrics. Some people say the design gives rich aunty vibes (lol). I guess it is because of the stunning look it gives to whoever wears it. The design started off as a preferred style for adults but in recent times some kiddies rock the outfit so perfectly. Well, maybe we should say it's giving rich kids vibes.
The outfit is either a combination of ankara fabrics and asooke or kampala fabrics and asooke. I think what really brings out the beauty in the design is the matching asooke fabrics that is used in the neckline to create a v-shape and the taping round the sleeves. For this outfit, I had already envisioned the colour and pattern of asooke fabrics I will like to use even though it took me quite some time to see where to purchase it, I continued searching until I got a fabric store that has it in stock.
I didn't snap the process of making the dress because I have a couple of it on my blog. So, I will just briefly explain some of the important steps I took in making it. I used about four yards of kampala fabrics to make the gown and a pack of asooke fabrics. The measurements of the client will be marked on the kampala fabrics with attention to the shoulder, bust, underbust, bust length, half length, waist, hip, gown length, sleeve length and round sleeve.
So, you will cut the front piece after marking it out and use it to cut out your back piece. The same process will be done for the lining - cut the front and back pieces. Afterwards, the asooke fabrics will be cut in a v-shape with the lines aligning which will be used for the neckline. Then the strips that will be used to tap the two sleeves with be cut too. Use the kampala fabrics to cut out your desired sleeve style, either normal sleeves, puff sleeves, three-quarter sleeves etc.
Afterwards, join the front piece of the kampala fabrics to the front lining and repeat the process for the back piece of the kampala fabrics and lining. The two pieces, front and back should be joined together when you are done. Then you will creatively attach the asooke fabrics to the neckline creating a v-shape. Your pressing iron must be put to good use at this point to flatten all bulging parts.
This kind of gown is a favourite of so many people not because of the luxury look it offers but most importantly the comfortability. Comfortability is on top of the list when a lot of people want to choose an outfit. There's nothing that beat that outfit that you can rock for many hours without getting cranky and overly exhausted. This beautiful gown can be worn for twenty-four hours without feeling uneasy. Above all, it is a plus that it is also beautiful and giving rich aunty vibes.
Thanks for reading and see you in my next one.
