I have been sewing for 2,5 years now and have most experience in sewing little girl dresses. I made a few dresses for myself so far, mainly the Brooke dress.
How did you add your personal style to the dress?
This is my 5th Brooke Dress! I like little changes so none of The Brookes dresses are alike.
This time I really wanted a sleeve! Originally I started with a 3/4 sleeve. However I don’t have pattern drafting skills so I ended up with a sleeve that didn’t fit well in the dress…. I then changed it to a cap sleeve, that worked really well! Actually I am much happier with this, because now I can also wear it in the summer.
The fabric I used is by lottemartens and the neckline and sleeves I finished with brass color piping cord.
What do you think of the result?
I’m really happy with the result!
