slip dress with lace Women's Black Satin Up Back Maxi 100% Polyester MANITO Lace-trimmed Silk Short Slip

Premium oxford cotton cloth makes this big and tall (or mid-tall) shirt as comfortable to wear as it is fashion-forward

Silk Chiffon

Fabric Black printed bubble crepe from Metro Textiles, no longer available Lining Polyester Chiffon from Chic Fabrics Pattern Vogue V9278, View B, modified Sewing Difficulty 3/5 The fabrics take the challenge here but the pattern is simple to sew Fit Difficulty 2/5 This pattern includes separate pieces for different cup sizes which makes fitting the bodice a lot more simple I completely redrafted the skirt because I wanted to highlight my curves more with this look I would make this pattern again, but Im not in a rush to add another slip dress to my wardrobe Fit & Modifications After comparing my measurements to the finished garment measurements, I decided to redraft the skirt to be more fitted through the body instead of the a-line shape: Traced the top of the pattern to match the original curve Measured down for the waistline on the pattern and added 1.5 inches in length to hit at my waist Followed my measurements for my high hip and full hip to continue the width of the skirt close to my hips After the fullest part of my hip, I made a subtle A-line shape and rounded hem by pivoting the measuring tape at 26 from my bottom I made the shoulder straps a few inches longer than the pattern to be sure they would cover the extra length in my upper torso Tips For any pattern pieces that youre cutting on the fold, pin the fabric through all of the layers close to the cutting line so it does not slip and cause uneven cuts Light fabrics require fine needles

Such a pretty raspberry pink and so well made

This maxi dress is a silhouette-skimming essential that ditches the simple jersey vibe for a high-impact, ruched finish that feels far more curated than a standard floor-length gown
