I searched far and wide for a second summer dress in my favourite cut. Full shoulder coverage, high neckline, knee length and comfortable in the heat. This style excuses me from the suncream/long hair/bag shoulder strap pantomime. My summer kryptonite. There was NOTHING in this style online. Then... I remembered about the large rolls of material in my wannabe hobbies cupboard. I grabbed the largest roll, a light blue geo-camo straight cotton. It was perfect. The only obstacle I faced was my own inexperience. But with faced with so much extra fabric (room to cut, re-cut and then re-cut again)... and charged with misplaced confidence, I decided I had nothing to lose. (p.s. Full disclosure: I did have an upcoming exam when I started this dress. This did add fuel to my sudden dress-making passion. And yes I was a procrastination project. Initially. And yes my exam went well thank you for asking.)
Step 1- Roll out the fabric on the floor. Pin and pull the dress to see the shape. Then cut anywhere you fancy.
Step 2- Pencil in the seams. Sew straight. You fool. Why didn't you use a pattern.
Step 3- Press seams and hemming. Despite having no experience at hemming arms. Just go slow. It'll be fine.
Step 4- Watch a tutorial on how to make this dress. Regret everything. Spend a week thinking about it.
Step 5- Continue regardless. Attach skirt and top together. Add waist elastic.
Step 6- Get a cat
