DIY GIRL FIGURE DRESS

I'm back as promised! And in this post, I'm going to show you how to make a dress for a teenage rabbit (model: Cherry Periwinkle) 

GIRL SUMMER DRESS

this is what you will need: 

Sewing Machine, Fabric Scissors (scissors that only cut fabric, don't cut paper with them else they will go blunt) Pins, Teenage / Sister figure ( I've chose Cherry Periwinkle, Sister buttermilk Rabbit) , Some nice fabric, and two templates. 

templates:

 This dress has two basic templates:

The Skirt has extra allowance for folding, so the fabric doesn't fray. It's also in this curved shape so the dress sticks out, and adding pleats would give it extra oomph.

The top is also simple, I got the template from a Japanese website, this is the type of shape the top should be.

You can shape the templates to fit your chosen figure. I have given measurements for the skirt, but it's best to just copy the shape and experiment with your sylvanian. 

the skirt template is very versatile, it also fits perfectly for mother figures.

 

Turn over your fabric and trace your templates onto it. I recommend using a good ink flowing pen instead of a biro. cut out the shapes . 

Once you have cut out the shapes, you can work on them separately. 

Sew up the ends of your "top" to make two arm holes. 

With your skirt, fold over 3 edges and pin them. Sew along it to make pleats. 

Sew up the sides as seen here, to make the sides and bottom neat. 

Now we are going to make the collar. Cut out a line of white felt and in the middle, cut out a triangle. 

Now sew it on to the neckline.

Now choose what clasp you will use. 

Once sewed, sew the whole piece together! 

And their we have it! 

One cute , summer dress!!!
