Gathered tube dress

7/24/2013

3 Comments

 

Two months ago I bought Burda magazine. Usually I make my own patterns, but I always love Burda for the patterns, ideas and styling that they have. There is also a Dutch pattern and sewing magazine, but it is a bit old fashioned, sizes are usually a bit too big and the styling is not as good as Burda's. So I fell for the June version of Burda, which had this little tube dress in it.

I love the neckline and the gathered part in the middle & bottom part of the dress.

So let's start!

For my version of the dress I chose a jersey in brown/green. I first put the pattern on the fabric. It is a really long pattern as almost the whole dress is gathered from the neckline to the bottom.

After cutting the fabric and gathering the front and back pattern pieces, I put it on my mannequin. Voilà!

Almost done. I stitched the front and back together and attached the hem to the lining.

And here is the end result! I really like how it turned out. It is a bit on the small/ tight side so I have to pick a skinny day to put it on.

What have you been working on lately?

Thanks Patrice! It is quite flattering. I just wished I had made it one size bigger haha.

There's very little instructions of how to put this together. Any helpful suggestions? I bought the pattern, and have cut it out, but I'm nervous to start since the knit I have is rayon, and it will get holes easily. Hoping to avoid mistakes.
