A week of tutoring outfits

 A Week Of Outfits - Holiday Tutoring Edition!

Hi cutie gals! Another post! Third one this week! And one will be coming on Sunday too!

I'm feeding you well now because...school begins on Tuesday...so you might have to fast, or at least go on a water diet.

Anyways, as I do each holidays, I have been attending english tutoring at matrix 🥲 it's Monday - Thursday for two hours in the morning. It's really handy though, so I don't mind. 

It's also a way for me to get out of the house and get dressed up, which I haven't really done much up until this holidays. Normally, my holidays are pretty isolated buuu~

I also wanted to try the outfit check format that was pretty standard for gyaru blogs where they'd say where each thing was from, except mine is all just Australian stores 🙄

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.
