A second WIP is now completed. Maybe this dress isn't so bad for a hivestyler. I learnt a lesson never to create darts on stretchy fabrics.

Hello Hive.

Good day sewmates and fellow crafts and Needleworks, hope our week came greatly and we have many an achievement to show for it.
Today I continued with the work on my WIP.
This is the second wip I am working on after completing my jumpsuit the very first wip.

Making this dress I have complained once about not liking the fitting.

Now I understand why the darts and dress didn't sit well and it will be a good lesson for my fellow sew mates to learn from.

Never create dart on a soft stretchy fabrics, its a mess and waste of time.

That is what ruined the fitting of my dress.
Once a fabric is stretchy, it clings to the shape of our body and we don't need any darts or contour to make it fit. I bet that @bimpcy and @wolfofnostreet can relate with this.

This fabrics can't make a bustiers or any design that requires a heavy contouring that's why the under bust area isn't sitting well.
I had to reduce my measurements and hold it extra at the side seam to make it fit.

The length became shorter than expected since it was some fabrics I managed to sew this outfit for myself just because I like the color.

Had to add extra 4" layer of tulle to add to the length.

Fixed in the zipper and taped the neckline with bias, a beautiful embroidery will be purchased to seal the armhole in a glittery manner.
I haven't found a matching color yet that was why the purchase is still on hold.

Literarily this is completed unless I want to add embroidery foe more fancy look.
And I might have to dash it out to someone who will appreciate it if am not comfortable wearing it

Unfortunately am very poor at posing for pictures, the best I got is really funny here.

Lol...I have tried darts on chiffon/silk. Epic fail! I knew never to attempt on stretchy fabric. It's too much stress. You even tried

Hello.

It has been worth your effort and dedication. The dress looks very nice. I don't know about sewing friend, I hope to learn so that my opinions will be more accurate.

The fabric looks very nice and delicate. The tol brings elegance and at the same time youth. I think you modeled it very well in the pictures.

Good that you are in the challenge, you always learn something new with them.

Just like you did, I have tried it before and it was a mess, then I learnt my lesson never to add dart to a stretchy material. But yours turned out to be beautiful, I love the ruffles added to the hem, it looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing this tip on stretchy fabric @monica-ene

@monica-ene, I really like the dress and the colors are beautiful. It's true with the flexible fabrics you can't catch darts, not even leave the centimeter of seam, because it molds to your body. catching darts in this kind of fabrics drives us seamstresses crazy.
