I was in the sewing room, about to finish Sidra’s art bag, when I saw this white Indian cotton lying around. I’ve used some of it to make a hat and it was still about 1 metre left. And suddenly I had the urge to make this white dress.
The pattern is basically the same as this purple dress with hood , sans hood and sleeves. I put 4 buttons on the bust and added a pair of big pocket. The neckline and armholes are finished with ready-made double-gauze binding strips. Love this quick and easy project!
I just discovered your blog and LOVE it. Inspiring, beautiful, fantastic. So glad I found it. I noticed you mentioned your simple shift pattern..is that available on your blog or to buy or where can I get that?
Thanks so much.
Thank you! What I meant by simple shift shift pattern was any ready-to-use simple shift pattern from any pattern making company (Simplicity, Burda, etc). Then you can make the necessary alteration (pleats, sleeves, pockets) to the pattern to make a similar dress to this
i bought a sewing machine about a yr ago and have only used it about twice as I am just so busy. this dress has inspired me to learn to make dresses properly. i shall finish the dress i started over a year ago first, then I am trying something exactly like this…although i doubt it will be as stunning as yours.
Such a beautiful dress and the style is lovely.
The buttons are so cute, is it a snowflake pattern on them?
I love this! The pleat and pockets are beautiful.
Thank you everyone!
dozz, I altered a store-bought pattern to make this dress. You can use any simple shift dress pattern and add the pockets and inverted box pleats at the front
that is the cutest white dresss!! can you please please provide a pattern??…im sort of a newbie
ohhhh that’s sooo cute i love it!
Beautiful dress!! Very well made and I love the details you added. Good work!
sooo cute! i love big pockets and button detail – love your style!
I discovered your blog a week ago and today I am going to buy some cotton for a dress. You reminded me how much I loved to sew and make stuff by myself
Thank you, greetings from Poland
This is so naturally beautiful. Soft as a cotton bud, stylish and well made. Bravo!
