In the last few months I have been attempting to teach myself how to sew (so I dont have to learn when I finally get to take my textiles class) and these two dresses are the two things I have made this summer that I am really proud of. The first used to be a hideous sailor dress for children- it included a huge collar, bright pink bow, and poofy sleeves. Needless to say I got rid of those features and added my own, such as: the halter top and a great belt. In all the process took a few hours, since really all I had to do was shape the top. Since I didn't have to worry about altering the skirt, I took more time to handsew the top seams, and practice!
The second dress is one I know I will love for a long time! I got the pattern from Burdastyle.com and finished it in about a week. I accidentally bought less fabric than I needed, but I made it work et voila! This dress has the stencil detail at the bottom left hem of an Obey egg. I found the picture on some random website and made my own stencil of it- after much deliberation of whether or not to take fabric paint all over the dress I just slaved over, I am glad I decided to go through with it. The finished dress is so cute and I love to wear it!
