Pink Polka dot Sleeveless dress

It has been quite awhile since I last blog. Today I would like to share a project which I have completed a month ago (Thankfully I am still able to fit into the dress as I have put on weight lately. -.- ) This is my first attempt doing a sleeveless project. Hope it does turn out well :)

 

This is my design of the dress. It's a rather simple design since it is my first attempt. Instead of making a full box pleated bottom, I've made the pleats below the dart area fold towards the centre.

 

 

 

 

I've used the pink bow hair tie which I did previously to match my dress. :)

 

 

I've placed a belt so as to make my waist line more visible.

 

 

 

Does the dress look better with or without the belt?

Princess seam and pleated skirt dress- Part 1

I would like to share a fabric that I bought recently. It's for my new sewing project. I will update this blog post once the dress is complete. Hope it will turn out well. :)

Fabric: Made in Japan 100% Cotton

I love the design as it look like flower motif when you look closer.

This fabric can be used on either side.

This is the design I intend to sew using this fabric. (Please bear with my horrible drawing)
