Cutting and sewing process of how I made this sexy straight gown for my little sister in-law

Greetings to all needlework hiver and to all my friends how are we all doing today I hope we are all enjoying the weekend .

Weekend are for party, hangout with friends and wedding mostly in Africa . Today I will like to share with you all how I made this sexy straight gown with long sleeve for my little sister in-law she wore to attend a friend wedding .

She brought this 3 yards of Ankara fabric that I should help her with this style, although she is also learning but not yet perfect so i have to help her cut the material so that she will not damage the fabric while cutting it .

While cutting the cloth she was there looking at the way I’m cutting so that next time she will be able to do same by herself.

I firstly cut out the sket part by folding the material into four then I measure the waistline , the hip line then the sket length after cutting the down part I then fold the remaining material to cut out the upper bodices.

She wanted a different material at the upper part then I cut out the lace material by folding the material into four then I firstly cut out the front the center measurement is 4 “ then I take two in to get the burst curve, after cutting that I place the material on the remaining net lace to cut the back .
