Decided to Create a different style today, a milkmaid short gown with v neck line
I went to the market, got a material, came back home, and decided to start working on this particular dress.
As usual, I began by inserting the basic measurements and then cut out the front part.
I cut it in the form of a corset because it was an underburst milkmaid gown.
After cutting the front, I removed the corset piece and divided it into two parts, going from the underburst up toward the shoulder.
But I didn’t cut all the way through the shoulder, I stopped just before it.
Next, I moved on to the back. I inserted the basic measurements and did the usual neckline cut, giving it a high neck shape.
You remember I mentioned that I had already cut the cup area earlier, which means I was left with just the part from the underburst to the waistline of the dress.From the style, the area needs bonny to make it looks fine,
So, I cut a straight strip of fabric (about half an inch wide), made it as long as I needed, sewed it straight, and then inserted the boning inside.
From there, I moved on to the lower part of the dress, which was a pleated design.
I cut the fabric in a straight line, measured my desired length and did the pleating just the way I wanted, and it turned out really well exactly how I imagined it.
For the sleeves, I used the usual sleeve cutting method.
But this time, I made the sleeve a bit bigger than the armhole measurements because I wanted to insert elastic into the sleeve.
That gave the sleeve a nice, gathered look.
Finally, I attached the zipper, did the threaming and gave the dress a nice ironing and that was it
The final result came out beautiful
