Liz Lisa Style Dress Sewing Tutorial 

Happy easter cutie gals!

Finally exams are over and the term has come to a close, and I've been able to spend lot's of time sewing. Because I will have so much time over the holidays, I'm going to try pre-prepare tutorials then, so I can post consistently for you all during term!

Anyways, today I'll be teaching you how to make this beautiful dress, which is a pretty similar copy to this dress from a Liz Lisa 2009 release. This dress was so cute, I chose to wear it as my Easter Sunday dress, paired with a super cute bow.

I've seen many different versions of it, but sometimes its hard to tell which are replicas and which are just using the same fabric but in a different cut.

This dress is absolutely delectable, as i've made it with a very handy elasticated/faux smocked back, a gathered skirt and lace fagoting on the sleeves and close to the skirt hem.

Overall, the construction of this dress is quite straightforward, as we are not adding a zipper in or doing anything fancy with the sleeves (though you can if you'd like!), but it is the pattern drafting which is a bit tricky.

If you've never ever drafted a pattern yourself before and aren't familiar with the general idea of how different pieces would be shaped, I honestly wouldn't recommend doing this, but if you've used a commercial pattern or made your own bodice block before, I reckon you'll get the hang of this easy.
