Hope it helps! :) It took hours for me to do this including the fitting of the blouse which I think was the most time-consuming for me. haha! Btw, I really love this site! So many crafty individuals to be inspired of! :3

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Long Thin Piece Of Fabric for belt
  • Piece Of Fabric for chest part
  • Sewing Machine (Unless You Hand Sew)
  • Fabric Scissors

Steps (10 steps, 240 minutes)

  1. 1

    I cut the dress first just before I thought of taking pictures of it first then uploading it here. LOL!

    Just imagine it whole. :))

  2. 2

    Cut the middle part. This is the tightest part so I have to cut this. :)

  3. 3

    Sew the edges for hemming later.

  4. 4

    Combine both upper and lower parts. I used a plain fabric for the chest, covering my precious flesh. haha!

  5. 5

    My workplace. haha so messy! I do my stuffs as in anywhere in the house. This one's with my bf at our living room, see how busy he is playing Warcraft. :)

  6. 6

    I prefer this part open, just to style it.

  7. 7

    Made a ribbon for front belt but didn't hem the edges for scrappy look. The fabric was from my other dress, had to cut it because it's lengthy.

  8. 8

    The back part. And no, the ribbon isn't attached to the blouse.

  9. 9

    I made it detachable so I can use the belt in any clothes.

    (formed my initial with the fabric belt, just for picture :3)
