MAKING YOUR OWN DRESS FROM SCRATCH GUARANTEES A PERFECT FIT
The next party is around the corner and you’re thinking of rockin’
that new cocktail dress you recently purchased. And then you remember exactly
why you haven’t worn it out yet – the side seams need to be taken in by a
smidgen, the hem sits a little too low, and somehow it just doesn’t fit quite
perfectly overall, does it?
Chances are, you aren’t the only one that is going through
something like this. By now, I’m pretty sure there are counseling groups for
this sort of thing. Ill-fitted Clothing Circle? Anyway, as you probably know,
most of the clothing we purchase nowadays is fitted to a fit model, mass
produced, and then sold in retail stores or online. Now, if you happen to have
a slightly different body shape than the fit model, and you most likely will
since no two bodies are alike, the clothing will not totally flatter your
figure. Hmm, what to do? Oh, I know. Take a sewing class and make your own!
Lucky for you, TheSewing Studio offers just what you’re looking for - a PartyDress course. All you need to do is dedicate two hours per week for 8 weeks to
learn dress construction essentials. You will be instructed on topics such as: customizing
a pattern, working with difficult fabrics, boning, Princess line easing and
shaping, installing invisible zippers, and lining.
A dress, in particular, is something a gal must have at least one
of in her wardrobe. Even if you are not a girly girl with dresses galore, you
need some kind of a dress for a special occasion. So why not have a dress that
you hand selected, customized to the max, and have sewn to fit YOU perfectly?
