In this session, I presented our final Brooke Dress!
I demonstrated adding a waistband, creating openings or pockets, and adjusting the silhouette using straps. I also showed the steps for finishing the hem with a bias strip.
Lesson Steps:
- Add a waistband made from the same fabric, if desired
- Create openings or pockets in the dress, based on your preference
- Attach inner and outer straps to the dress to adjust the silhouette
- Try on the dress or use a dress form to experiment with different shapes
- Level the hem if the silhouette adjustments cause uneven lengths
- Finish the hem by covering it with a bias strip and hand-stitching it in place
I’m really fond of the relaxed, effortless, and city-chic vibe of the completed draped dress design!
