Floral dungaree dress


This dress I have adapted from using the top of this pattern and a pattern I took of a skirt
I already own. 

The fabric I picked I already had in my fabric stash, It felt really autumnal and a very popular 
style and shape at the moment.



The Waistband and straps from the pattern. The front piece with a pocket I drew up 
on pattern paper. 


Cutting out the skirt panels.


I stitched the pocket on with two lines of stitching makes it look much more professional.


I bagged out the straps right around the top to create a neat and tidy edge which is on show at the front.


All Ready to start putting together. 


I bagged out the front and then inserted it in between the waistband as I bagged that out as well.


I then attached the skirt into the waistband. I put it on the mannequin to get an idea of what it will 
look like when it is finished. 



I then had to seam the back and insert which I have done a separate blog post about it. I attached the straps at the back and put button holes at the front.

I used these silver buttons as I felt that they look almost like dungaree clips.



Super Pleased with the outcome of this. It fits really well and I really enjoyed making it too.
