DIY Gathered Rectangle Dress Tutorial
On June 4th, 2017 I shared my first ever sewing project tutorial… the Rectangle Dress! I’ve come along way in my sewing journey and I felt like it was about time I revamped and improved that tutorial so, here it is! The NEW and IMPROVED Gathered Rectangle Dress. I love this dress because It has no zippers or buttons, no darts and, you can just pull it over your head. Hope you love it too!

DIY Gathered Rectangle Dress
Like all of my sewing project tutorials, it’s a DIY one so if you do give this a go, please do a practice run or make a toile. I’m not a professional pattern maker and I have no formal training but this stuff gives me life, I bloody love it and I hope you do too! I’ve tried my best to make these instructions clear and coherent but if you do find something that I have missed or that needs more elaboration, please let me know so I can make it better. Finally, if you don’t know how to do something (e.g. gathering) head to youtube, give it a google and get practising. I leave those instructions out of my tutorials because there are already so many fab resources on the internet and I just don’t think I could explain it as well and they have!
