Sleeveless Shift Dress
hello, it's momo here! today’s tutorial is on a fully lined, two-piece lace dress. this is the first of two parts and willbe focused on making the top. there’s a lot to go through,so let’s get started. make sure to subscribe if you’re new,and outfits will be at the end of the video. the top is a basic tank top with a v-neck. i added two one-inch darts right belowthe bust to cinch in the waist. the back is the same pattern, but it has alower neckline, and it's also split into two with a one-inch seam allowancedown the center for the zipper.
the shoulder straps are one inch wide. i started with the shoulder strap by foldingit in half and sewing along the side. once it was turned right side out, i snippedoff about two inches from each of the strap. this little strip is going to be attached to the o ringto make up the back part of the shoulder strap. before attaching the lining to the fashion fabric,i sandwiched the straps between the two layers. notice that they're placed upside down, but no worries! they will be in the correct orientationonce the layers are flipped right side up. on the back, the strip is a little bit too short tostay put as a loop, so i'm going pin it in place. also, the lining is a single piece here becausei was still playing around with ideas for
the back design, so i didn't want to cut it up just yet. i sewed along the neckline and addedsome ease by snipping into the seam. i also trimmed off the corners where the shoulderstraps are attached and sewed the seam onto the lining. here is a close up, and i'm goingto sew right next to the seam. it was tricky to get around the shoulder straparea since there was very little room to work with, but i managed to avoid catching any unwanted fabric. plan b would have been tohand-sew around these corners. either way, all of these steps helpto create a smooth neckline. for the darts, i sewed both layers together as oneand made sure everything was smooth before sewing.
the dart is basically a right sidetriangle with a half inch base. at this point, i decided to open up the backcompletely and attach it to the front. because my fabric doesn't have much ofa stretch to it, i went with a zipper for closure. this is all excess fabric, so i'm going toadd the zipper right here for a better fit, inverted so that it opens up from the bottom. first, i closed up the back with a bastestitch that will be removed later on. with the zipper lined up against the bastestitch, i sewed close to the zipper teeth. and for a clean finish, i tucked awaythe end of the zipper tape to hide it. with the baste stitch removed, thezipper should open up freely like so.
after removing the excess fabric and zipper,i finished the hem with a decorative elastic. here is a snippet of the skirtfor demonstration purposes. as always, i attach the elastic with the scallopsfacing away from the edge before going back in to secure the raw edge. all that’s left is the shoulder strap. a needle and thread was helpful withguiding the strap through the slider. looking down at the slider from the top, thegeneral looping pattern is to go through the first slot from the bottom andover through the second slot. this pattern is repeated a second time.
now, let's take a look at the actual strap. see how the strap goes through the first slotfrom the bottom, over through the second loop into the o ring from the top back through the first slot from the bottom and over through the second slot. notice that the second loopalso sits inside of the first loop. the end of the strap is secured to this part. here it is in action. under. over. and over again.
with the end secured, you’vegot yourself an adjustable strap! maybe it’s the holiday season, but thisoutfit makes me feel so festive! i love how the sunlight plays off of the glitterson this skirt, and the top adds a minimalist effect. a leather jacket in the same earthen tones provides some warmth. wide legged pants are one ofthose things you either love or hate. i fell in love with the flow and fabric ofthis pair, and i decided to keep the leather jacket for a contrast in textures that, atthe same time, doesn't clash with the bottoms. thank you so much for watching,and i will see you back here for part two! bye!
