DIY V-neck Tiered Dress
Hello, I made three dresses to wear on my trip to Bangkok during the Easter holiday and this dress is the first one I made. I will share another two in the next posts. I started working on this dress two weeks before the trip and I'm glad I managed to finish it on time, as well as my other dresses. This dress was fun and relaxing to sew because I made one before in a midi length, so this time I shortened the length until my knee and sewed it easily. For the fabric, I used a printed rayon from my stash and white cotton lining leftover from my previous make. For the pattern, I used my self-drafted pattern. At first, I didn't want to add the lining but I had to because the fabric was a bit transparent, the lining fabric wasn't enough and I connected the pieces to make the back skirt. Here is the look of the fabric after cutting and the skirt was pieces of a rectangle: the first tiers - front and back, the last tier on the fold ( I forgot to take the p
This is an adorable poncho Hana! I love it. It doesn't overwhelm your petite frame either. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sweet compliment, Margo :)
DeleteVery lovely and chic! That earthy color is beautiful and you styled it so well.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Annie :)
DeleteOh My Goodness! Your poncho is fantastic, and I can totally see the Japanese influence Hana! I remember when I was young, I and my Mom made a few ponchos, but they were pointed at the center front and back. Did you have those too? This one that you've made is ever so chic, and as Margo has said, it doesn't overwhelm you. You look fabulous....lovely photos too!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I made poncho with my mom too when I was young. They were pointed in the front and back too and I wore that in the carnival :)
DeleteThank you for lovely comment.
I would never have put you in a poncho Hana because of your petite frame, yet how wrong could I be?!! Your poncho looks fabulous on you. It's perfect and I love it. And ideal for the natural and earthy theme :) x
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dawn. I was thinking that the poncho will not suit me but I am wrong.
DeleteI think the big different between this poncho and other poncho is the style. Burda made the front shorter than the back. And they were square :)
Cute! I like yours much better than the Burda magazine one (maybe it's just the weird angles of the pictures or something).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tiffany. I agree with you, the weird angle of the model picture is not helping us to see the garment properly :)
DeleteLove your new poncho! It looks fantastic on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa. I am thinking to make with lighter fabric to wear in spring :)
DeleteI agree with everyone - this poncho is gorgeous on you - I love the coat length back as well. Perfect fabric choice. I think the brooch is perfect too.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are really lovely - your whole blog is looking good.
Thank you, Sarah Liz. I bought the brooch in flea market some year back when I visited Portugal. I think is the best accessory for poncho :)
DeleteLove your poncho !! It's so funny that poncho is its name in Spanish also, in any case it's perfect for you, so flattering. I'm really honored that you joined our Share, dear Hana, you made me very happy !! Thanks for that, dear friend.
