Hello lovely hivers

Welcome to my blog, hope your day is going great. Today, I will like to share with us the making process of this beautiful dress I made, a few weeks ago, I shared a post about the challenges I faced making this dress and tips on how to overcome them, today, I will be sharing a detailed DIY on how to achieve this design. If sewing is what interest you or you have a passion for art generally, you will find this process inspiring, so stay tuned.
The dress style is a princess bustier, with a yoke also a straight gown with puffy sleeves, within is an inbuilt corset as the dress is meant to give a snatched waist effect. I successfully snatched the waist of the owner of the dress, a friend of mine from 28 to 24 inches.

without further ado, let's get straight into the making process

Materials/ Tools used

• Damask fabric
• Satin fabric
• Regiline boning
• Matching thread
• Skin net
• eyelets
• Zipper
• Warden
• interfacing
  And of course my tape rule, sewing machine, and scissors.

PROCESS

• To start with, I drafted my pattern, starting with the front pattern, the yoke of the upper pattern was achieved using a skin net.

• here is my back pattern, like the front part, it also has a yoke made with the skin net as well

• I drafted the base of the gown as well, for both the front and back.

Note that all these patterns are also replicated using the satin fabric

• Next, I joined the front patterns together of both the damask and satin fabric,

• Continuing, I sewed the boning to the satin fabric, this is to help in the waist snatching,

• Next, to the back pattern, I made an extra pattern that is going to have a lacing as the main fabric will use a zipper. I attend the boning to this extra pattern and turned all together with its lining fabric and joined both front and back together.

• Now, for the sleeves pattern, I cut out a normal basic sleeve pattern and a bogus sleeve, to achieve the puffy sleeve, I gathered the bogus sleeve to the normal sleeve.Finally, I attached the puff sleeves to the bodice of the gown.

_{I already added eyelets to the back extra}

To enhance it more, I tacked rhinestones to the chest and the waist.

And here is the final look.
