Easy Party Dress FREE Sewing Tutorial
This tutorial will show you how to make a very easy party dress and the best part is you won't have to spend more than $40 dollars making it.
This project is for adventurous beginners and intermediate sewers. Knowledge of box pleat, shirring, zipper and bias tape skills are needed. I have done a detailed video tutorial to guide you the whole way through the process.
Materials
- 2 yards of any woven fabric with good body, 100% cotton, cotton gingham, cotton eyelet.
- 1/2 yard of fabric lining (optional). I have used cotton and the print is so dark it does not need lining.
- eyelets. These eyelet pliers would be great for this project.
- 1/2″ satin bias tape 2.5 to 3 yards.
- fusible interfacing 1/2 yard to 1 yard depending on the size you are making
- thread to match your bias tape
- 1 yard of elastic 1/4″ wide for the skirt
- 3 1/2″ wide lace (optional) or you can always add to the length of the skirt
- 1 1/2 yards of ribbon matching your bias tape and lace
- 2″ wide elastic (black or white) (if you are not using a zipper for the skirt)
- here are a couple of good fabric options: brocade or cotton lawn
