Hello, my beautiful and handsome friends in the @Needleworkmonday community, how are you all doing today and how was your weekend going, I hope everything is going very well and you are doing perfectly fine too, in today's privilege I will be using this opportunity to share with you all on the steps I carried out in making this beautiful dress for my beautiful little princess.

I love making an outfit for my baby and that makes me feel so excited, we had a child dedication on Sunday which was yesterday, so I wanted to make a new dress for my little princess, so I was looking for Ankara fabric then I went to the market and bought a beautiful Ankara fabric I decided to make a gather dress for her.

The procedure

I started with the front side by folding the fabric in two, and I measured her full length; I divided her shoulder by two, and then I took down her hamhole length and divided her body measurements by two. After that, I put in a 2-inch allowance, and then I cut it.

After cutting out the front, I folded the fabric again by two and placed the front side on it, and I put in 1.5 inches for a zipper allowance.

I now cut it out after putting the zipper on all allowances.

After cutting out both the front and back, I went ahead and folded the fabric again, and then I cut out the front and back pieces for the gathers stitch.

After cutting them out I placed them on the lining and cut out.

I now placed the upper half-length of the dress on the lining and cut them out.

I went to the sewing machine and turned both the front and back length parts.

After tuning the half-length, I carried out with the gathers stitch, I went to the sewing machine and gave out a gathering stitch on the front and back sides.

After giving a gathers stitches, I now joined both the front and back half-lengths, and they gathered together.

The next thing after that I brought out the zip and put it on the back side of the dress.

After that I prepared a side roop then I joined the front and then the backside together then i used a black bais and bind the ham hole and also bend the dress hem then I went and ironed the dress then ironed the stone beads at the ham hole bind.

After putting the side roop then i joined the body together.
