Searching through my wardrobe I came across this maxi dress
It was quite shapeless, so I took it in a bit at the sides to give it more shape and lopped the bottom off.
From the excess fabric, I cut two eye-shaped pieces and sewed them into the armholes to form floaty sleeves
That's cute! I especially like the flutter sleeves- the pieces were eye-shaped, you said? I have a few dresses that could really use a similar treatment....
ReplyDeleteThank you! For the sleeves I measured round the armhole and cut the eye-shapes so that the outside edges were a couple of inches longer. When I sewed them in, I started pinning about an inch away from the underarm seam and gathered them up to fit.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! It's amazing how such small measures can make such a big difference in style and fit. So good work!
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful on you!
