Forums General Chit-Chat i made a dress and just want to share it

Donator — Am Potato Posted 3 years ago ( 2022/03/11 03:19:36 )
Since sunday i've been working on this dress i made! I still have a few adjustments to make so it fits my body just a little bit better. But, this style of dress is nearly impossible to find in my size so i got excited when i found a pattern for it in a close enough size that i could grade it up to my size! So sunday i spent my whole day working on sizing up the pattern, then monday i cut everything out and started to try to make sense of the pattern instructions, tuesday i finished the bodice, and wednesday i attached the skirt and the zipper- my first zipper ever! and then today i brought the bodice in a little because it was quite loose. Because of where i brought it in, i had to redo the zipper. Unfortunately i did not take any pictures of the dress today after i brought it in a bit. It still has a little more to go in around my waist before i'll be happy enough to say it's finished, but so far it's good enough to wear!

images don't like me, so here's the links!

@Ruby: haha it's all good! <3 I'm glad you remembered from way back then!

@moodyb: it's not too difficult with a machine. i actually find it a lot easier once you get started. hand sewing is such a chore to me and i only do it if i absolutely have to.

@MoodyB: I get that. Maybe YouTube can help with tips? I always struggle with retrieving the bobbin thread from down below. I have taken to removing the presser foot when I have to!

@lilmisskushy: cute tiny shirts and dresses!!!! They'd be so cute!

@LilMissKushy: yessss!!! I now need to google hamsters in clothes.....

@Purpsy: thank you! The day I bought the fabric, I also bought 16 others, most of them galaxy or space themed, but this one spoke to me with the planets and said it needed to be a dress inspired by(kinda) miss frizzle!
