DIY off the shoulder print dress

When it comes to prints, you know by now I don’t do a whole lot but when I do please know that It’s a print I absolutely LOVE.  I found this fabric online here at moodfabrics.com and originally envisioned a fitted dress due to it’s stretch and what I thought would be a heavy weight fabric.  When I received the fabric it was much lighter than a normal jacquard and I knew it would make a great spring/summer dress.

This off the shoulder trend which started for me last year is more popular than ever and highlights such a beautiful part of every woman’s body is one that will hopefully stay around for a while.

The pattern used for this dress was a self drafted pattern seen last year here and here and available for free download.

The alterations made for this pattern were:

-Removed the wrap belt option

-Added 22″ to the length

-Added a 5″ box pleat to the middle of the front and back of the pattern

-Remove 6″ from the bottom of the sleeve

– (for the bottom of the sleeve) Cut two pieces of fabric 56″ long x 7″ wide, stitch the short ends together on each piece and attach to the bottom of the sleeve using pleating.
