Ravina the Seamstress

Hi guys! I'm back with my latest sewing project which is a Black Floral Button Down Dress. I'm really pleased with how this dress turned out and is probably my favourite make this year so far! I used 2 meters of a floral viscose fabric which I got in my Walthamstow Haul last year which was £1.50 a meter. I used buttons and thread which were already in my stash so in total this dress cost me £3 so I am super pleased! I used my V-neck button down dress pattern which I mentioned briefly in my Top makes of 2018 post . I altered the pattern to make it a square neckline dress because I wanted a slight design variation. I think I might prefer the square neckline because I think the V neck is a bit too low (but I'm not sure). I also made it with thicker straps (roughly 1 inch wide) and added a ruffle at the bottom. I made the ruffle by cutting a strip of fabric which was roughly 1.5 times the bottom of the hem width. I think it gives a nice amount of ruffles without it b
