Hello needleworker,

How are you all doing today happy new week to you all how is your families, I pray this week is blessed for me and you in Jesus name amen 🙏.

Today I will love to share with you all how I made this beautiful outfit for myself and my daughter, this style is mostly sown with material and crepe fabrics but I was inspired by this style and have not sew it before this is my first attempt and I decided to sew it with the Ankara print I have and the end result came out pretty well🤩.

Cutting step

I folded the material into four then I measure the length of the gown 38” and I took out 5” for the off shoulder sleeve then I measured 4” from the center part from the down part to the hips line and I went down by 4” from the hips line to get the curve then I cut out the pieces then I place it on the fabric to get the back piece .

After cutting the bodices of the gown I cut out a straight piece for the side ruffles and I place the curve side of the gown on the straight piece to get the side curve edges and then I cut out the sleeve then i measured from the shoulder to the under-burst to out satin for the burst ruffles and the combination was so beautiful 😍.

Sewing step

Final look

I made same style for my daughter with stylish braided headband and it came out beautiful and we wore the outfits to church on Sunday and we look very colorful and beautiful 🤩😍🥰.
