DIY Dior-Inspired Maxi Dress with Mandarin Collar & Bishop Sleeves + Sewing Pattern

Hi everyone! In this video I’ll show you how to sew this gorgeous mandarin collar, bishop sleeve, front placket maxi dress from a lovely chiffon.
I’m using my Audrey PDF downloadable sewing pattern, get it here:
dressmakingamore.com/products...
Here are the materials you’ll need:
- 2.35-5.5 m (2.5-6 yds) of woven fabric (depends on the length of the dress).5 m (.6 yds) interfacing
- Loop turner tool
- 4-6 buttons for the cuffs and closure
- matching thread
- glasshead pins
- scissors
- measurement tape
- Audrey pattern
Originally I made this dress using a patterned chiffon, and for this tutorial I’ll be using a lilac gray chiffon. It has such a beautiful flow and drape, so it’s absolutely perfect for this elegant dress.
I recommend using a light-medium weight woven fabric such as cotton lawn, viscose, silk, chiffon, or georgette.

Beautiful workmanship both inside and out

[@SummeRain783]

It’s nice but I would highly suggest doing a French seam instead of overlocking especially on a more transparent fabric like this one.

I'd been putting it off for a while, but I finally made this dress out of some crepe de chine a couple of weekends ago. It was my first time working with non-stretch fabric and I was really intimidated. I didn't even know how to use the buttonhole function on my machine! It was challenging, but I LOVE how it came out! I've already cut out fabric to make another one out of a light satin.

[@DressmakingAmore]

Aaah that sounds amazing!!! Wonderful job 👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you so much for sharing :))

[@taheramohamed5288]

Hi! I've been in love with this dress for months now but I'm curious as to what you were wearing under it as chiffon is very shear? If it's something you made please ad a pattern! Update: i have decided i hate sewing thanks to this pattern

[@nazninshipon2429]

🥹 that's so beautiful 😻

[@greatpassion9844]

You made working with this killer fabric look sooooo easy. To be honest this fabric is one of the reasons why i feel bad and i don't trust myself when i sew. Its super difficult and tricky

[@Poojakumari-ci2eo]

Really nice stiching video. Nicely done. I was hoping to see the cutting part of the video though. By the way did you use one full circle or 2? It looks very full and nice.

[@seheryesiller1764]

Mükemmel bir elbise, ve mükemmel bir anlatım 👌👌, 👏👏. Elbisenin içine astar sonradan mı eklendi onu anlayamadım. Bir de bel bağlamalı kemer gibi mi oldu?
