I made a dress with ankara fabric for my friend's daughter.
Hello everyone @diyhub community, today i am glad to share with you all the dress i made for my friend's daughter.
I really had a great time today,and today was less stressful.
Today i went through my stuff to see if i could find any extra ankara fabric
Luckily for me i found one but for some reason i didn't really like the fabric.
So i snap it and sent to my friend to ask her daughter if she likes the fabric
Well,she called back immediately and told me that she loves it and the next question was,"aunty please can i get it now?"
I laughed and told her that i needed to sew it first
And i quickly told the mum that she can pick it up in the evening time.
Well,with her previous measurements i had i was set out to work.
Here are the few materials i used
- Ankara fabric
- Scissors
- Black colour Lining and
- Measuring tape
The first steps i took was really simple,i cut out some part of the fabric,i bend the down part of it by sewing and i created gathers with the upper part,then i attached it lining to it.
The next step was for the top
So,i used her measurements for shoulder,burst and waist and u created zip allowance for it
Hence,after all the cutting my job was easier and so i joined the lining to each of it pieces and i sewed it all through.
Thankfully i finished up on time and the dress was ready.
And her mom promised to puck it up this evening.
I will be more excited when she finally sees it
It is hard to believe that this is Ankara fabric. The beauty of it is topnotch and you gave it perfect finishing. I love the dress especially ones made with gathers, well done and thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much dear sister,
Lately I think I am liking anything gathers🤣
I have tried it severally and it ends up perfect no matter the age.
Thank you.
Beautiful work on the dress. The fit and fabric choice look great. Is it your first time working with this style?

Not really
I have worked with gathers style with different ages,I have done it for my self and my third daughter.
The difference maybe slightly different based on the neck design,length and different styles for the hand.
I think you did a beautiful job! Although you say you didn't really like the fabric, the pattern is spectacular, I really like how you handled the proportions of the dress because it looks very well structured, bravo! 💞 👗
Thank you so much I am glad reading this from you.
