Do Fabrics Inspires Style In Your Mind?

Hello Beautiful Members of this prestigious community, it's my best day to show up because sewing is therapeutic.

Have you ever been inspired to make a particular style based on the fabrics?

Well, here is a fabric that would have been lovelier as a shirt and shorts but preference matters a lot.

My client walked in the other day and asked me to make her a fitted dress with a mesh around the neckline and as soon as I sighted the fabric, I imagined a thousand and one other styles that would have been lovelier for the fabric.

I didn't fail to suggest to her what I thought would have been finer but she was bent on making a fitted dress with the fabric so I proceeded to work table.

The materials needed for this outfit were;

Mesh
Pad
Lining
Zipper
And the fabric itself (wool cotton fabric)

I began to cut this fabric and then I realized that one man's meat is another man's poison, we all cannot have the same taste in fashion and any other thing.

As much as I couldn't stop imagining a fine shirt and shorts with this outfit, I didn't fail to work according to my client's preference.

Do you also imagine a style just immediately after you see a certain fabric or am I the only one guilty of this?😃

I ensured I cut out the fabrics using my client's body measurements, I made a princess dart bustier off-shoulder and added net/mesh to the upper part to make it a dress with shoulders again as seen in the collage.

I also cut the lower part, I deducted her half-length from her full length which was what I used in sewing the lower bodice.

I also cut out the pad according to her bust span and cupped it appropriately after which turned it with the lining and added the mesh for the upper part.

Then I proceeded to sew them together, fixed my zipper and gave it a good shaping after which I ironed it.

Surprisingly, after wearing it on my dummies I began to like the style once again.

Too bad, her hip is quite smaller than my mannequin's, so it was hard having the full picture of it on my mannequin.

I wore it like that and took a shot of it, this picture isn't so bright because I used my friend's phone to take this shot as mine had a low battery then.

So this is what the dress looks like and I am still certain, the style in my head would have been finer.🤣🤣
