Hello hiveians

A beautiful morning to you all #needleworker on this Monday morning Hive account@needleworkmonday.

Every Monday, as it is our doing to always post our creativity in this community which I always look forward to and this morning, I will be sharing with you the cutting and sewing process of this pleated gown with pleated flare cape at the neckline.

Recently, I have been making a lot of gown with cape but there is a little difference as this cape was cut in a flare form and pleated on the neckline.

Let's get started with the cutting and sewing process.

First, I cut out ×2 of my client waist measurement to make pleat from the waistline to the length as I don't want it to be too full, then I cut out the off shoulder of the front and back upper bodice measurement with zipper allowance at the back

now the cape

I measured the round shoulder measurement after I had added a piece of about 2" to join the front and back together as off shoulder sleeve.

The measurement I took was then used to cut out the flare at a desired length for the cape in 2 places.

The flare was turned with a lining sewn together to give it a neat finishing and finally, it was pleated on the neckline.

This is the finished dress with zipper at the back.

Thanks for taking out time to read through my post and for your tireless support, enjoy your day.
