Blouse and Wrapper I Made With George Fabrics With a Structured Sleeves That I Made for A Bride-to be's Mom
Hey lovelies 鉂わ笍
It's your favorite girl 
Welcome to my blog 馃
In this post, I will be sharing with you how I made a beautiful blouse and wrapper for my customer's mother using a George fabric. Guess what? This customer that is been referred to is a bride to be and the dress that I'm sharing is one of the outfits the mother will be wearing during the wedding ceremony. In coming days, I will be sharing the bride's outfit especially her wedding gown and others and also the remaining of the mom's outfit.
This outfit is one of those outfits that require paying careful attention to details because of the different pieces that come together to make a whole. The final look is a composition of many elements and they all come together to give us the overall final look. The major element of this design is the detail on the shoulder. I made use of satin fabric and hard net, also known as crinoline to create the structured effect around the shoulders.
Materials Needed
- 4 yards of George fabric
- 4 yards of lining
- 1 yard of hair stay
- 录 yard of breast pad
- 1 yard blue satin fabric
- Hard net (crinoline)
- Zip
- Tailoring chalk
- Matching sewing threads
Measurements
- Bust - 46"
- Upper bust - 44"
- Underbust - 16"
- Waist - 43"
- Hip - 47"
- Round shoulder circumference - 50"
- Top length - 25"
- Full length - 58"
Step by Step
To start with, I folded the george fabric into two with the right sides facing each other and I used the customer's measurements to draft the bodice and added 2" seam allowance.
Next, I cut out the front and back pieces of the bodice and added 1.5" allowance for zipper allowance at the centre back.
Next, I folded the lining into two and used the George fabrics that I have cut to cut out the front and back pieces of the lining.
Next, I attached the breast pad and hair stay appropriately.
Next, I joined the front and back pieces of the lining together and i also did the same for the George fabric.
Then I used the lining to turn the fabric and pressed it with pressing iron so as to give the edge of the neckline a neat finishing.
Next, I cut the blue satin into the shoulder design that I wanted and also cut the hard net (crinoline).
Then I used my sewing machine to join the crinoline to the satin fabric and I moved ahead to use hemming gum to finish the edge.
Next I drafted and cut out sheer net fabric for the long transparent sleeves. I joined the sleeves seams and attached it to the armholes carefully.
Then I attached the shoulder detail to the sleeve on both sides.
That's all for the blouse.
Then for the wrapper, I folded the edges neatly. After that I wore the blouse on the mannequin and tied the wrapper as well to check the fitting.
Thanks for reading and see you in my next one.
