Happy Sunday dear hivers!

I hope you are all having a fulfilling and relaxing Sunday, as we recharge for the new week ahead. It's been a tiring weekend for me, I almost thought I would miss out today, glad I made it to this week's creative Sunday edition.

This time, I made a beautiful white brocade dress for my friend's daughter with a turtle neckline, puffy sleeves, and exaggerated hips. Which served as a first Sunday dress. She is yet to send me pictures thou fortunately, I took some pictures before sending her dress, and from her review, it fitted perfectly. It can also serve as a party dress and fits both adults and children. So without further ado let's get right into the making process.

Materials used

• Brocade fabric

• Satin fabric

• Zipper

Cutting And Sewing Process

• I started by drafting the upper part of the dress using a basic bodice pattern.

• Next, I drafted the lower part using a skirt pattern, but I added extra allowance to her hip measurement, which helps give the exaggerated hips effect.

*Continuing, I held in the dart of the upper front side of the dress and turned it using its lining part

• I also sewed in a bishop collar around the neckline

• Next, I joined the upper part of the dress to the lower part of the dress

• I also sewed in a zipper to the backside after joining it

• For the sleeves, I drafted, cut, and sewed a puff sleeve around the armhole of the dress, and used an elastic band to gather its hem to her round sleeve measurement.

And that completes the making process of this beautiful brocade dress. Quite easy to make if these steps provided are followed
