How to cut , sew and embellish this dress with ornamental stones

avatar

Hello Hiveians

Here is a new and beautiful A line dress for a customer .
The fabric was a light navy blue material while I used patterns from another Ankara fabric for the embellishment

Here is how I did the embellishment

  • I got a scissors and cut out the flowery patterns on an ankara material.

  • Next I added an interface ( bff) to the wrong side of the fabric to give it more stiffness . This was done using a pressing iron to melt the glue on the interface into the fabric .

  • After that I took it to the stoning machine and creatively place stones on the fabric at a calculated distance that will give it the beautiful look you see below.

That's impressive, the dress will be an eyecatcher! And you have shown the most important tool for sewing: the iron - people who don't sew can't imagine how often things are ironed till a project is finished :)

Thanks.

That's true, I can imagine how many time we iron a garment before it is completed
