Customizing Your Flapper Dress with D-I-Y Simple Steps


 
Fashion & Cosmetics
Spring season is up ahead and if you are on a tight budget, why not do yourself a great favor and start constructing your own flapper dress with style. Yes, flapper dress is just as trending in fashion world due to its lightweight materials, ease, and comfort for the user. It is best to wear flapper in hot season in the beach or even just walking out in the park. The looseness and fluffy hemline will just fit your carefree personality before the season ends. In this article, a detailed step-by step of how to make you very own flapper dress within a minimum budget. Learn to make you own dress in five simple steps and you will be surprise of the hidden talent you have in constructing and designing.

Flapper dress is good for any occasion whether you are heading for the beach or for a night out with friends. Flapper dress originally was a fad during the 1920's and because of the comfort it provides, the trend never dies and continue to live as new generations try variation of styles to fit the preferences of the users. This article will discuss a simple method on how to create your own dress. Here are the steps as follows:

Gather the necessary materials. What are the things that you need? You need a cloth but not just any cloth; it should be lightweight as this is the very essence of the dress. Crepe georgette is the perfect fabric to use. You will need other basic materials as well like needle, spool, thread or string, scissors so on and so forth. Once you have this proceed to the next step. Make a pattern of the dress you want to create. So, in the case of flapper dress design, the first thing you will draw a rectangle then connect the larger side to the edge making a tube that goes wider on the hips. Reduce the size of the back area to give it a slimming effect. Using a thread and the needle, do the stitching of the edges leaving the armholes and neckline open. To give it a more comfortable feeling for the user, cut a straight mid-line section vertically on the back and you can add a button as an option. Now, how do you add the ruffles effects and belt to your dress? Cut a piece of fabric lengthwise then lay one side to the other making a fan-fold then sew to attach to the dress where you want to ruffles to your dress then pull the thread causing the fabric to tighten hence the ruffle effects. Commonly, position ruffles in the hemline. You can place the ruffles across either the dress or lining the neckline. Making the belt is simple thing, just cut a piece of fabric again with the same or more than the size of your hips then fold it into half then do a running stitch over on the reverse. Once done, turned the belt inside out to hide the stitches away from plain sight. Then, attach the belt into your flapper.

Making your own dress is fun especially when you have the eagerness to learn the craft. However, not all of us can follow simple instructions in the book while some are buying these dresses in shops instead. There is still choice for you. You can buy the cheapest flapper dress then you can customize by adding and fringing with embellishments and beads. The easiest way to get hold of such materials is all available in the net. This way, you get to save your time and effort in walking or driving up to the mall and get from one store to the other just to find the right materials for your gown. Make life easy with shopping on line, and in no time, you can have your own customized flapper dress.
