handmade cutsew dress





jacket. fcuk
long sleeve. earth music & ecology
skirt. earth music & ecology
dress. handmade
bag. handmade
tights. tutuanna
hat. metropark
necklace. forever 21
earring. h&m
hair tie. h&m

i made this dress in class, the pattern is really simple and requires no darts which i liked, the draping in the back is made by a sort of fishtail braid and there isn't much sewing needed either. it is two layers (two dresses) connected by the braid in the back, i made both patterns the same way but added more flares on the bottom dress but you can't really tell.

i was surprised that my skirt went so perfectly with it! :) happy
