Romantic Spring Dresses, Sewing Pattern.

Today I have a sewing video tutorial for an elegant Anthropologie dress, called Gathering Breeze. This Spring dress / Summer dress retails at $260. You can make it for less than $20. Come learn how.

Dress Detail

Half lace, half jersey, this dress goes easily from backyard BBQ to wedding party.

It has a zipper at the back, and is 33”L.

Materials Needed

1. You’ll need a lace bodice, which you can either make yourself, or like in the video, find one in a thrift store. Here is a link to gorgeous lace fabric if you are opting to make your own.

2. And, you’ll need 2-3 yards of wide jersey fabric; bias tape to match your bodice*; woven elastic (instead of a zipper); plus thread in the color of the bodice or the skirt.

3. Of course, you’ll also need a sewing machine, and the usual sewing supplies: pins, scissors, etc.

*If you can’t find bias tape in the right color, consider a Bias Tape Machine. This is a handy machine from Simplicity allows you to make your own bias tape from the fabric you want, easy, fast and without burning your fingers. Click the image to learn more.
