Are you looking to create a trendy and fashionable dress that will make you stand out in a crowd? Well, look no further! In this step-by-step tutorial, I will guide you through the process of making a stunning utter neck dress. With just a few materials and some basic sewing skills, you will have a beautiful dress that is sure to turn heads.
Introduction
Before we dive into the details, let me introduce myself. My name is Cytia, and I am here to share my passion for sewing and fashion with you. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced seamstress, this tutorial is designed to help you create a dress that fits perfectly and looks amazing.
Materials Needed
To make this utter neck dress, you will need the following materials:
- Scuba fabric (preferably thick)
- Measuring tape
- Fabric marker or chalk
- Scissors
- Sewing machine
- Thread
- Pins
- Iron
Cutting the Upper Part
To start, we will begin by cutting the upper part of the dress. If you have a thick scuba fabric, it is recommended to divide it into two layers for a better outcome. Fold the fabric into two and determine the desired length and width for the upper part. Use a fabric marker or chalk to mark the measurements and then carefully cut along the lines.
Cutting the Lower Part
Next, we will move on to cutting the lower part of the dress, which will consist of a flared skirt. Measure and mark the desired length for the lower part, adding an additional inch for sewing allowance. Fold the fabric into four layers to create a triangle shape and use a fabric marker or chalk to mark the measurements. Cut along the lines to create a circular shape.
Joining the Upper and Lower Parts
Once you have cut both the upper and lower parts, it's time to join them together. Lay the upper part on top of the lower part, ensuring that the right sides are facing each other. Pin the edges together and use a sewing machine to stitch along the sides, leaving the bottom open for now.
Hemming the Armholes
To give the dress a polished look, we need to hem the armholes. Fold the fabric inside the armholes by half an inch and press it with an iron. Then, fold it again by half an inch and press it once more. Finally, use a sewing machine to stitch along the folded edge to secure the hem.
Creating the Neckline
The neckline of the dress will feature an attractive utter neck design. Measure the round neckline and cut a long strip of fabric for the neckband. Fold the strip in half lengthwise and stitch the edges together, forming a tube. Turn the tube right side out and press it with an iron.
Attaching the Neckband
Now, it's time to attach the neckband to the dress. Align the middle point of the neckband with the center back of the dress and pin it in place. Pin the ends of the neckband to the front of the dress, ensuring that it is evenly distributed. Stitch the neckband to the dress using a sewing machine, making sure to secure it with a double stitch for durability.
Finishing Touches
With the neckband attached, your dress is almost complete! Check for any loose threads and give it a final press with an iron to smooth out any wrinkles. Now, it's time to try on your stylish utter neck dress and admire your handiwork.
