🌸 The making of my dress for the @newcrafthouse Prom Party last weekend! 🌸 As ever, it was a last minute endeavour - I always sew best under pressure 🥴🤣🙃 - and it turned out just as fabulous as I had imagined! I used the Side-Tie Dress project from my new book Made To Measure (coming so soon! Preorder links in bio 😘) to self-draft this dress according to my newly expanding measurements 🤰 The dress itself is adjustable with ties at the side seams so I know I’ll be able to enjoy it even beyond pregnancy 👌 The fabric is a silk and cotton cloqué from @newcrafthouse (gifted 💕) fully lined in baby pink silk charmeuse which was a wedding gift from my cousin. The party itself was so fun! The whole of Team BHL was there @juliet_mikecharlie @mattielouwho @elleandthestitches and it was so great catching up with other sewing friends and meeting new ones! Soooo many stunning handmade outfits, but a special shout out goes to our Jess @juliet_mikecharlie who won Best Dressed! Make sure you head to her feed to see what she made ✨👌✨ #MadeToMeasureBook #selfdrafted #draftityourself #bhldiy #diy #diyootd #maternitysewing #newcrafthousefabric #sewingcommunity #sewistsofinstagram #imademyclothes #sewcialists #isew
