[CR] #needleworkmonday :: Summer dress time again

I had a template to follow, which was her old summer dress but I altered the neckline the last round (me the smarty pants) which changed the fit entirely and made the top part rather small. So, this round, i decided to follow exactly or as close as I can the old summer dress.

Armed with my scissors and a 1 meter fabric I bought some years ago:

I placed the old dress on the fabric:

And started to cut the fabric. The fabric is not wide enough but it was longer than what I need. So, I cut the excess long top part of the fabric and add it to the sides before cutting the fabric according to the old summer dress:

After I have sewed on the top part of the cut fabric to the bottom sides:

I started cutting out the fabric according to the old dress:

And folded the cutout fabric comparing it to the template to make sure the shape is even on both sides:

I sewed the sides and hemmed the edges:

And I tackled the hemming of the armholes carefully and slowly, hemming it narrowly following the curve:

If the curves are hemmed to wide, the fabric will have excess bumps and folds here and there which won't look pretty.

Lastly, I sewed on the piping tapes as the straps:

And done! Hopefully, this time, it fits :P
