🪡 In this video, Dianne shows you how to sew the Lora Dress, a beautifully feminine design featuring an empire waistline, soft underbust gathers, and an elegant button-front bodice.
Designed to create a flattering silhouette, the Lora Dress combines a fitted bodice with gentle shaping through the bust before flowing into a comfortable skirt. The self-lined bodice gives the dress a beautifully clean finish both inside and out, making it as satisfying to sew as it is to wear.
🧵 In this video, Dianne covers:
✔️ Step-by-step construction of the Lora Dress
✔️ Sewing a self-lined bodice for a professional finish
✔️ Creating neat underbust gathers and shaping
✔️ Constructing and attaching the button-front bodice
