3D dress (Danni Dolman Dress)
At the beginning of January, Sarai from coletterie.com wrote about her wardrobe inventory and inspired me to do something similar.
Yesterday I worked on the muslin for a 3D dress (Danni Dolman Dress) from Style Arc as a first step in my mission.
This pattern is so easy, I could have drawn it myself. But I had already purchased it anyway. Cutting the fabric and sewing it together took me approximately one hour. Completing a project so fast boosted my confidence after spending days working on the Matthew Williamson dress!
Earlier this morning, I gave the muslin a test run. Whilst hanging out in Harajuku, we noticed a lovely photo spot ^^
As I mentioned, this is only a muslin; not a "real" dress. Even from the photos, you can see that this purple jersey is pretty thin and saggy. I can put it on to wear at home, go out for a quick shopping trip or late-night drinks with friends and hopefully nobody will see the imperfections. A proper version will be made from this more solid and heavier panel jersey knit purchased at Tesutti Fabric.
The 3D dress covers two essential points from my 2013 challenge: comfortable and classic. Also, I just love sewing with knits; they don't crumble, they need less fitting and they are super comfy to wear!
An interesting observation after my sewing couture seminar with Susan Khalje: on all six days of the seminar, all of the students (plus Susan) wore knits on a daily basis! Nothing more to add to that :)
Regarding the design, I avoided the back seam as I thought it unnecessary.
Do you also work on quick projects as motivation/to encourage yourself?
I've been thinking what if, from this year on, I start working on a more consistent but also more "grown up" wardrobe. Sounds like a lot of work to me, but I am ready to take on the challenge!
