Sunday was Lazy Day, so it was a perfect day to continue with my dress. I know, lazy day means doing nothing and relaxing, sleeping all day. For me, lazy day means doing anything I want without being interrupted. I did a lot that day and I am happy how it looks so far.
If you have seen my previous post, you know now that I had to shape the dress as much as possible because it really looked like a potato bag. It may look like a quick task to do, but it wasn't because I basically had to sculpt according to my own body. When you shape the dress, you have to make sure you shape it smoothly without breaks.
I was so happy with the shape of the dress and I could finally continue with the turtle neck/collar. I bought last week black shiny elegant fabric that I wanted to use for the turtle neck/collar. I paid 5 euros for 1 meter, not bad! I measured first the neck width and draw the pattern using my measurement.
Then I placed the pattern of the collar on the fabric and cut the pattern out from the fabric (double).
The ruffle lace I have isn't so ruffled, so I created more ruffles to get more drama around my short neck.
Here you see clearly the difference between the two ruffle lace.
I pinned the ruffle lace between the double collar and sewed it. Later on, I sewed it on to the dress.
A dress made of tweed can look very boring, but if you combine it with lace and a shiny luxury fabric, the dress will drastically change in to an elegant/ high fashion dress.
The back is still open because I still needed to sew an invisible zipper on to the dress.
My sewing machine has a few feet for different purposes. For zippers, I have a special foot that only is meant for zippers. You can either use the left side or the right side depending on wether you are left or right handed.
In my first post I made already the pattern for the sleeves. I cut the sleeves out of the fabric using the sleeve pattern.
I started with sewing the corners of the sleeves, the pointy side of the sleeves.
Then I added the sleeves to the dress. It really looks funny and I still have to get used to the pointy shoulders/sleeves.
If you look at my design, you see that the lower sleeves have lace. That is why I cut 1/3 of the sleeves and closed the seems.
I traced 1/3 of the sleeve pattern on a different piece of paper, cut it out and cut the pattern out of the lace. The lace sleeves I sewed using a French seam. That is sewing 0,5 cm for the edge on the right side of the fabric, and then 0,5 cm from the wrong side of the fabric. A French seam gives a much cleaner look.
Will the dress look like my sketched design?
I am curious myself! So stay tuned!

The design on the sleeves are amazing
So many details. I am impressed @fathin-shihab. I like the laces a lot. The design is very nice. I am sure that your dress will look like the sketched design. I will be looking forward to the finished dress.
I like the lace details too. Thank you @diamondinform :-).
That's really coming together. I really like your fabric choice (or pattern I suppose) and the lace accent on the neck line and sleeves. Very cool design!
Yes, the combination of tweed and lace really works well. :-)Thank you @leaky20.

It was a lot of work yes, thanks for the nice words :-)
Ah, it's really coming together nicely! I love the soft lace details to contrast against the rigid checked tweed. Can't wait to see some of the beading added on there as well!
Thank you! I still have to think if I'm going to add beads on the sleeves too or just beads on the collar.

Looks shitty.
Yeah, It will look shitty if you would wear it. I like honesty, but a NORMAL adult would phrase it differently rather than saying: looks shitty. I understand when people don't find it beautiful or it's not their taste, that's completely normal. We can't like everything. If someone would comment: That's not my cup of tea, I wouldn't mind. Haute Couture isn't only about beautiful dresses but also unusual, unique dresses. People like you have only guts to comment shitty stuff only when they are invisible, hiding behind a shield, scared being noticed. Show me your face and make a better Dtube video than me and some others that you needed to spam with your shitty comments and then you can say all the shitty things you want to say to anyone on camera. Let me guess @pommesfrites: You are an insecure person and you don't go out of the house and not showering for days. Now you envy everyone who is happy and instead of being happy for them, you just spam them with shitty comments so people feel what you feel: being unhappy and miserable. I know now your life is shitty as your comments on my post and other people's posts. Continue with what you're doing if that is the only thing that makes you happy. Aufwiedersehen und Ich wünsche dir viel Glück!
Still looks shitty. A 'normal adult' could cope with different opinions. Now fuck off, stupid cunt.
this is MY post, so YOU can fuck off! your comment was NOT an opinion, loser!
Of course it was. Looks shitty. That's my opinion. Stupid cunt.
