Can I sew a dress in a day? | DIY Réalisation Par Alba dress | Thrills and Stitches

Can I make a dress in a day? I set myself the very ambitious task to sew a whole dress in a single day, lining, zip, bias skirt and all - simply for the thrill of it. This dress is modelled after a beautiful design by the brand Réalisation Par and originally retails for £230 - my DIY Réalisation Par Alba dress version cost me about £50 (and a few nerves).
This video is part of my fall capsule wardrobe-making efforts. I really love the outcome so much and am super happy with the fit. The shirred back makes the dress very comfy and versatile to combine with other pieces, like a t-shirt or turtleneck on cooler days.
I made this dress based on a recommendation from one of my subscribers so if you are keen to see me make something in particular, feel free to reach out.
I am using 2.5 meters of cotton with a floral print by Fabric Godmother: www.fabricgodm...

If you attempt to create the dress for yourself I would love to see the result! Please tag me on Instagram via @thrillsandstitches or send me a message.
I am using the Brother Innov-Is A16 sewing machine (it's new ♡) and a Brother overlocker.

I really like this format of video, you have a very amicable way about you! Also I love that beige puff-sleeve top you're wearing, can I ask where it's from?

[@ThrillsandStitches]

Thank you Jildou, that’s very sweet of you 💜 I ordered the top from Zalando UK some time last year and I’m not quite sure what the brand is, but I believe it is called ‘Always New’. I’m not home right now but I’ll have another look later!

[@ThrillsandStitches]

The top is by ‘Forever New’ :)

Hi! Would this work with gauze fabric?

[@ThrillsandStitches]

Hey! Good question - I haven’t worked much with gauze myself, but I would imagine it works with single gauze (double gauze will be too bulky and hot, ultimately). But that’s just an educated guess. Hope it helps!

@@ThrillsandStitches Ok! Thanks!
