Hi everyone! I’m back with another linen dress! I’ve been quite obsessed with this fabric lately, and this time I made a midi dress with lots of ruffles. I wanted to create a delicate and feminine look, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I had such a great time photographing it on the streets of London.
To make the pattern for this dress, I used calico fabric. I love working with calico because it allows me to see how the fabric drapes and behaves before cutting into the final material. It saves so much time compared to making a toile and then realising something isn’t quite right. How do you usually make your patterns? Do you trace, draw from scratch, or drape on a mannequin?
The fabric I used for this dress is linen, and after all the lovely feedback I received on my previous linen dress, I knew I had to make another one. And honestly, I don’t think it will be the last!
That’s all for today! Let me know what you think of this dress. I wish you a lovely rest of the week, and I’m already so excited to get started on my next project. I can’t wait to show you what I’m making next. Until next time!
