Bring back the Milkmaid dresses! | the perfect summer dress using a free pattern

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video! Instead of letting these projects languish in videos files and my wardrobe, I thought I would finally take the time to share them with you through what I'm calling the Archive initiative! (lol) I find it hard to motivate myself to care about projects once they're completed and they enter my normal wardrobe, and I move on to the next project, which means if I don't share them immediately it most likely will never be shared! But this was a great project, using a free pattern that had great results, so I really wanted to share it in case you, too, want to make a wonderful summer dress. The pattern I used was the Anthea Milkmaid Pattern by Mood Fabrics on their Mood Sewciety blog: https://www.moodfabrics.com/blog/the-anthea-milkmaid-dress-free-sewing-pattern/ I used under three meters of lightweight crepe fabric for this, with the same quantity out of polycotton sheeting as an interlining, and a small length of ribbon for the neckline and bias tape for the them (as well as a zipper and some elastic thread for my shirred back panel addition). If you want more information on shirred panels, I go into a little more detail on my Reformation inspired dress video: https://youtu.be/dTxFid3M0Rk?si=T-LEmMdEzrHVi2dt -- MORE -- Patreon (exclusive videos), https://www.patreon.com/catscostumery Instagram (perhaps overactive stories): @catscostumery https://www.instagram.com/catscostumery Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/V7V7HRLN Blog:
