Greetings dear creative hivers, hope you are all having a good week, it's been a good week for me as well, grateful for the gift of life and peace of mind because that's what matters most in life.

Some weeks back, I shared with us a dress I made for my sister who was lucky to be chosen as one of the bridesmaids of a river that recently got married, she was sent two types of fabric, a lace and an ankara fabric, which I had already shared with us, you can check out that post here, so today's post is about the beautiful floral dress I made with the lace fabric,

At first my sister felt disappointed because we received just 2 yards of the lace fabric, it was delivered from another state to ours which is quite a distance, about 5-6 hours journey, the two yards kind of put a restriction on the kind of style we could make with it since it wasn't enough for something elaborate.

I calmed her down, telling her to trust me to make something simple yet sophisticated for her, this time there wouldn't be a long sleeve as she had thought to make, to compliment the beautiful pink lace fabric, so I bought s matching dutchess fabric to make a blouse out of it, in the process of making and using what left, I creatively ended up with this beautiful two-piece outfit.

Materials used

  • Lace Fabric
  • Dutchess fabric
  • Satin fabric
  • boning
  • Eyelets
  • Zipper

    • Cutting And Sewing Process

    • The first thing I did was cut out a bustier blouse pattern, with a snatched waistline effect, and also the back pattern.

      • Next, I joined the patterns together, after padding the bust area and sewing the boning to cage the bust satin lining part for more structure.

        • I turned it neatly with its lining part, hiding the seams inside, then made rings on the back area where a loop would be passed to tighten the back side.

          • I trimmed out flowers from a leftover lace fabric I had at home and used it to make a strap.

            • For the lower part of this outfit, I used a straight skirt pattern to cut the lace and satin fabric that served at its base, making a straight out of it
              • It was looking too simple, my sister whined, then I went further to sew more flowers to the best area alone, then draped the leftover pink lace fabric around her underbust, going around to form an off-shoulder sleeve.

                • And here is the final beautiful floral bridesmaid look, which she totally adored, glad I made her a beautiful bridesmaid for the day.

                I added a video to this post for a more detailed experience on the final look.
