Sweetly Modest Blog: Dresses for Myself :-)

As modest, feminine clothes have become harder to find, I desire to assist families who are seeking to honor the Lord in the area of clothing, by providing both ready-made items and the opportunity to custom order garments at a price they can afford. Please feel free to inquire about custom sewing, appointments for consultations, or with any other questions you may have about my blog and Etsy shop. I sell through my blog, as well as through my Etsy shop. I live in the Springfield, OH area.

Dresses for Myself :-)

Here are two dresses I recently made for myself.
The green dress is a basic, zipper-back dress, with elasticized waist. The bodice has pleats in the center, one 2” in the very center with a 1” pleat on either side. The “teacup” sleeves have a gathered cap with small three pleats at the lower edge.

The grey dress is a pattern I made myself, one I’m sure has been previously designed, but which I have never seen before. Dress is “round” princess seamed front and back, with inverted pleats at the waistline continuing the seam to the hem of the flared skirt, with a “straight” seam in center back of dress. Buttons are down entire front of dress. Sleeves are plain, fitted, with a button in the hem allowance, fitting the sleeve to the wrist. A Mandarin collar finishes the neckline. Dress is made so that there is no break shown in seams at waistline.
