Sew Along: Knipmode #6/2020: dress


 T
he idea

I want to make a summery short dress with gathered layers from double gauze, and yes... I did see that on Pinterest.

The pattern
Open back, wrap dress

Additional info:
  • 34-54 (EU) , I'll make a 48
  • Recommended fabrics: cotton's
  • 2,5/4
  • Knipmode 6/2020
The fabric
  • ca 2 meter double gauze
Cutting the fabric.
I will cut the front and back and the waistband of the pattern. The remainder of the fabric will be cut in 6 strips, 2 for the top tier and 4 for the bottom tier.


Pleating under the bust in the lining and main fabric


Sew one side seam and sew lining to main fabric (except the bottom and the shoulder straps.

Will look like this.

Do for both sides and wrap the right over the left parts.

Shoulder openings could be neater if you do these first and then topstich.

Add two tiers of gathered fabric.
