Cut Out + Keep

Simple Shift Dress

I got bored and decided i needed to make a cute dress - not bad, right?

So i made this in about an hour or so, and it turned out really cute. I'm not great at making actual clothing (or good at making anything with my sewing machine, for that matter) and i kind of just pulled this out of my butt. As you can see... i'm a double zero haha. Most of the time i am tailoring my clothes at least a little, but this one fits perfect, which is nice. It's a little off in some areas, but not bad for probably about $6. Ignore the bra straps and the Gir slippers in the background. The ribbon is sewn to the back, and then you tie it however you want, and that's it. Fairly simple. It actually kind of reminds me of Le Sac dress. That's my next dress to make! <3 You can't really tell, but it has a scalloped hem on the bottom, too. If enough people ask i'll make a how-to :)
