Happy new week dear friends on Hive, wishing you all an amazing week ahead.
After a full week of sewing the same style over and over again, incase you missed my previous post, I spent the just concluded week making my church choir uniform dressses for the ladies, which also took a lot of my time and had me relent a bit on my daily Hive post, thankfully that phase is over and it feels refreshing starting a new week with another sewing project, that is not only easy to make, but also less time consuming.
This dress style has recently taken the Nigerian ladies casual fashion, especially during this heat season, an halter neck backless dress, it's not a surprise the ladies love this outfit as it not only stylish, giving the feminine aura, it is also very comfortable to wear this season and fits women of all ages.
This one I made right here is for a toddler, her mum also wanted this stylish dress for her, the heat these days has really been unbearable, with the process I will be sharing, you can also easily recreate yours. Trust me, anyone with a little sewing knowledge can easily make this dress. So without further ado, let's get right into the making process.
Materials Used
-
Kampala fabric
-
Thread
Cutting And Sewing Process
- I started by placing the fabric on fold in bias or triangular form then cut out the full length of the dress
- Next I cut out the radius, which will serve as the ruffled halter neckline
- I also traced out he back dress pattern using the front patttern, but the back starts around the waist area
-
Continuing, I sewed and hemmed the base of the front and back dress patter
-
And went further to create a loop case for the neckline area
- While for the upper/waist area of the back, I created an elastic case, where I passed the elastic, to firm up the waist area.
- Then I cut out and sewed the loop which I passed around the neckline
- Finally, I joined the sides of the front and back, and that completes the making process of this beautidul and comfortable summer halter neck dress.
