I loved the dress you see on picture one. I rememberd that I had a Bikervest that would do the trick.
1
These were the clotingitems I've started with.
2
first I cut of the arms.
Than put it on and make it tight to your body.
3
Sew this and cut the extra fabric of.
4
put it on again and take some more out of the sides if you have to. by example, I took some more below the armpits.
5
Now put it on again and make a line with pins to make the armhole wider. I jused a top onder it an took that as a mall.
6
cut this of and lay the cut of part on the other, non cut armhole. Use it as a mal. Now cut that to.
7
now put it on again and start taking fabric again onder the armpit.
8
allso make a coup seam from under your armpit to your brest.
After this my vest was perfectly fitted.
9
pin the armpits 1 cm inside like the picture and sew it.
10
Than I took one of the lapels (collar) on the inside of. I looked realy close how it was put on.
11
What I took of I used as a patern to cut out of the old-lady colbert.
I sewed it on like I rememberd.
12
than I cut out a strip from 20 cm. and try'd to make is as long as posible. Just sew parts together to make that long.
13
than I folded it and sew it on to the dress.
And this is the resalt!
14
look how nice the vest fits me. Ohw I allso cut of the pockits on the inside and sewed the opening by hand closed.
15
I allso made little loops for the belt.
It's pretty short but that way my boyfriend likes it ;P
