The latest addition to my homemade clothes pile (and it really is a pile... my wardrobe seems to have just exploded all over my bedroom floor, woops...) is this blue satin dress, very loosely inspired by that beautiful silk TBA dress which I've been lusting over for far too long. My own version is lacking a peter-pan collar and generally lacking everything that is lustworthy in the original (the silk, the cut, the colour, the details...), but at least I managed to add some lace to the sleeves!
I copied the pattern from this tunic and made some adjustments. The entire thing cost £2.35.
I planned to make a matching waist-tie as well, but I ran out of fabric...

I'm very excited about finishing my current project! But I'll leave you all in suspense about what it is :) hehe.

the dress you've made is cool! i love the colour and the tights!
That's beautiful, Sadie! I love the color and that it's not long or too short, either... it's perfect.
Huh. You should create your own fashion line of some sort.
Beautiful colour! Please will you do a tutorial on how to make a simple tunic/shift dress?

You're ever so talented. This dress is so awesome! Love the lace sleeves and general, all-round beautifulness. And in midnight blue, too! Love it.
Super cute! I don't think it needs the waist tie really. I'm really impressed with your whole making not buying clothes thing. You certainly are cranking them out.

Beautiful! Please add a tutorial on how to make a simple shift dress!
I just started sewing my very first dress... but my sewing machine DIED in the middle of it! Now I'm stuck! I need to save up some money for a new one.
I just opened my own Etsy shop though, so I'm hoping I can raise some funds through that.
