Lace Garments

I made a tight fitting dress with lace and a tight fitting, off the shoulder crop top with lace sleeves. In the beggining i knew, that making these would be difficult because of the lace, because it was non-stretchy. I think one of the most hardest things in this process was making the fabrics fit my body. I always tried to make the garments a little bigger becauce you can always make it smaller but it's hard to make it bigger. I had to add some fabric to the dress to make it more stretchy because  the lace made the top half smaller. Also another problem with the lace in the dress was that I couldn't sew with the twin needle across the lace on the chest, so I had to use diagonal stitching which made the chest not so neat. I think in the end both garments turned out to be wearable but I favour the shirt more because it came out neater.

Crop top

My project was a white crop top. I wanted it to be flowy and loose at the bottom. I didn't want it to have any pattern because I wanted it to be plain and wearable with everything. Making the crop top was quite easy, even though it took some time. I chose viscose tricot as my fabric and made it so that it has two layers. It has an elastic band at the top so it would stay on me, but I also sewed on removable straps. Im really happy with my crop top.
