Description

I made this dress for my aunt. No pattern was used. I took a piece of fabric, folded it in half, cut a opening for the head, and trimmed the sides to make the dolman sleeves. I then cut is again crosswise so that there was top (front and back) and skirt bottom (thus making a seam across the middle) then I added a belt (that ties in the back) with the lines going in the opposite direction. She is curvy so the stretch in the fabric worked well. The neckline and sleeves are self-faced.

Material Notes

thread

    What a lovely dress! I love how you combined the stripes, I know it’s very hard to work with… Like the bow at the back!:)
