Silk mini dress (TUTORIAL)

[elfa3d]

I bought 2 yards of this beautiful silk for the bargain of $4.50. The pattern I made all by myself, inspired in a top I have.

Here is the result:



I really love it. But I had a little problem with them hem and it turned out shorter than I wanted, but I'm wearing shorts below it.





THE TUTORIAL

And some observations I'd like to add:
- The values are in centimeters.
- To measure the elastic, I took a piece of it and held around me, just below my bust. Then I started to stretch it until I could still feel it confortable.
- The dots indicating the position of the elastic on my drawing will obviously vary according to your bust size.


And I'd also like to add that I'm not a native english speaker, so excuse my flaws. If you have any doubts I'll try my best to answer

i really like it! i love tops like that, the fabric is pretty too.

[elfa3d]

aww thank you

the lenght is actually fine, I just can't do some movements without my bum appearing *lol* that's why it should be a little bit longer and why I'm wearing shorts

Oh cute! I really like it. And if you don't feel comfortable wearing it alone, it'd look cute over jeans!

I love it. I would pair it with a pair of leggings and you would be rockin it. Either way i love it. Any way there would be a tut?

[cheera]

Its glorious. Love the print.

It's been way too hot here to wear tights or leggings or jeans... but I'll try them when I use the dress to go out by night (nights here are freezing!)

Oh and I will consider the tutorial thing.. as it's a really easy dress.

it would be awesome if you could post a tut! my local fabric store have suddenly got a load of crazy-patterned fabric that would be perfect for this! I love this dress! And it's not too short
