Swing Dress Part 2

So I added a full circle skirt, and the straps:  then I measured how much to take of in the back for the zipper: then I sewed the zipper in. More in Part 3!

50's Swing Dress Part 1

Image
After making Leisl's Dancing Dress , I was in a wild sewing craze, so I jumped into the sewing room, and came out with a 50's swing dress. Here are some pictures of the construction: 1. Cut out a rectangle. The length should be the length from side to side across you chest. The width should be from were you want the neckline to be down to a few inches below your waistline. 2. Pin it on the dress form wrong side out! 3. Make darts to fit the front more to come!
