Description

I made my Fatina in white stretch cotton with fine embroideries and stripy wrinkles on it. Because I realized that the muslin in my regular size was apparently bigger than I needed, and also because my fabric has some elasticity, I cut my fabric in much smaller size (34). I also shortened the length by 6cm. I didn’t use bias strips for the armholes, but attached the facings. I have put the narrow black pipings on the armholes, collars, and hem as well.

The dress was very simple to make, but piping hems took so much patience and time. I generally enjoyed the process to finish, and am very satisfied with the result. Though pipings are optional on Fatina dress and you might barely see the tiny piping of mine at all, I like them on this dress.

    I see lots of gumblings on BurdaStyle about this pattern being just a simple shift. Well that it may be but you have elevated that simple shift to a beautiful work of art – bravo! just goes to show what can be done with a simple pattern – love it!

    yes, even though details might be minute or even nearly invisible, they can make all the difference!

    So beautiful dress ! Your patience was worth it, the piping hems give the dress this special chic style. It is really neatly done. Great choice of fabric and great work :) .

    The piping around the hem looks great, and I like your classic colour combination of black and white. Beautifully made, as your creations always are.

    This is really pretty :) I just took apart my Fatina to make another dress because I didn’t like it in the fabric I originally tried it in – I think it looks a lot nicer in a simpler fabric like this :)

    Very nice dress, neatly done, as usual. I love the piping details, give the dress more sophisticated look.
