Tyrian purple dress


Another old dress I sewed a couple of years back. A tyrian purple two-piece dress. Well, I am quite busy with my work and no new stuff being sewn, so blog about old dresses ....boring, right ?

I love to sew my own clothes . According to my hubby, I am too fussy about my sewing. I could not stand a small mistake or poor stitching. I always try my very best to make my clothes look well-made. I also hope that my handmade clothing are impeccable. If I am not satisfied with the end result, I will sure to unpick and redo any part without any hesitation .

By the way, I really enjoy sewing very much. Sewing is my hobby and it brings so much pleasure in my simple life. I think many of you who like making hand sewn stuff will definitely understand my feeling. Sometimes I get very excited with the newly bought fabric, new ideas, sewing projects and etc....and all these release my work tension and make me in a merry mood . :)

Back to my dress, do you like it ? Well, as I had mentioned before , I am not a fashionable woman. This is just another simple dress. The pattern is self drafted. I think the fabric used is polyester georgette. I embelished the blouse with simple embroidery below the neckline and on the sleeves. An invisible zipper is attached at the back. Darts are sewn below the bust to give me a shapely look . :) The length of the skirt is below my kneecap, as stated in my working dress code.

I went out for tea with my hubby this afternoon.

How is your weekend ? Hope you have a nice and enjoyable weekend !

Thanks for stopping by.

  1. Wow, PY, another nice dress made by you! I love the color, the embroidered stitches, and most of all, I really think the fitted shape of this dress looks gorgeous on you! And I guess being a bit perfectionalist when it comes to sewing is a good thing - that's probably how you've improved your sewing skills to this level!

    I totally understand how sewing releases tension and stress out of our busy life... I mean, I can't live without it!! Happy sewing :)

    Life definitely will be boring if we have no time to pursue our interest in sewing, right ?
