In case you missed the post, you can read the full story <a href="https://peakd.com/hive-127911/@debbie-ese/sew-with-me-oror-diy-sleeveless-maxi-gown-tutorial-with-more-detailed-explanations-in-photography-section">HERE</a>. In today's post, I will be sharing with you another gown that I made for her and it is a maxi gown as well. But there are little differences that distinguish this from the previous one I shared. The previous one was a sleeveless maxi gown whereas this one has a spaghetti strap. The spaghetti strap gives it a classy modern chic look that will make all heads turn. Maxi gowns does not go wrong on any body type whether slim or chubby - it always give that elegant impression. I can recall how we chose this particular style for this fabric. She has a friend who wore the style to an evening event they both attended sometimes ago and she fell in love with how comfortable the gown looked in her and told herself that she was going to replicate it. **Materials needed** - Ankara fabrics - Zip - Hemming gum - Tailoring chalk - Matching thread - Pin or nail **Step by step** - First and foremost, chalk out the body measurements on the fabric on your cutting table using the length of the gown, bust, waist and shoulder.  - After you're done drafting the measurements on the fabric then you will carefully cut out the front pieces. - The front piece will be used to cut out the back piece, however you will make room for zipper. - It is important to note that we are not making use of lining so we would improvise by cutting out an interface using the same fabric. This interface will be used to turn the front and back neck pieces. - When you have turned the neck (front and back), head to your ironing table to give it a good press.  - Then join the front and back pieces together facing the right sides together. - Then we will attach the spaghetti strap to the dress. - Let's start by measuring and cutting before we attach the strap.  - To measure the length of the spaghetti strap, what we will do is to measure from the front of the bust taking the tape rule over the shoulder to the back of the dress. This will give us a precise measurements of the client.  - Next, use the measurements to cut the fabric. Note that you will sew the right sides together, so you must bear in mind to include the sewing allowances. - Now, you will fold the fabric that you have cut and sew it with the right sides together. When you're done sewing then you can turn the right side out using a pin, nail or any object of your choice. - Using a nail, you can tie a rope to one end of the nail and use it to gently turn the strap to the other side. - Next, use your pressing iron to smooth and give the straps a fine look. - Lastly, attach the strap to the dress.  - After that attach your zip and use your pressing iron to smoothen the middle line of the zip to give it a fine look. - Shape down the dress and hem the down of the dress.  - Do other necessary finishing touches and try the gown on to be able to check the fitting and detect possible errors. ### <u>ABOUT ME</u>  ### <u>Just a quick reminder:</u> **The text and photos on this blog was created by me, unless I state otherwise.** **The cover images are designed using Canva with strict adherence to elements that are licenced for use under their terms.** **Photographs are taken with my Samsung Galaxy A52 - 64MP Camera and other amazing features that absolutely capture the moment in high quality.** **Lastly, do not use any of my content either text or image without asking me for authorisation.
