Hello here!!
How are you today? Work is finally resuming today and I'm excited to open my office once again.
Here is a tulle skirt I made just before I closed for last year.
Materials needed
Tulle ( Four colors, white, blue, orange, and pink)
Elastic Band
Linning
Thread
It's a very easy outfit and doesn't consume so much time.
Okay, the first thing I did was to transfer my measurement to the tulle.
Measurement needed
Waist circumference
Skirt length
That's all you'll be needing. Very simple and straight-to-the-point outfit. Hehe
So, there was going to be a party and someone referred me to the dancers for this tulle skirt.
I used about 10 yards of tulle for each skirt because I wanted it to be very full.
So, I just transferred the waist measurement of each client to the elastic band and added 2 inches allowance to join the elastic band.
Then I transferred the skirt length to each of the tulles.
The reason I didn't cut the tulle according to the waist circumference measurement is that I was going to make a gathered stitch on each of them, so there was no need for that.
In the first picture, you'd see the tulles on my working table before cutting.
Then on the other side of the collage, you'll see how I place the tulle on my measured elastic band.
Then I started to make my gathered stitch on the tulle.
After making the stitch, I ensured I gathered it neatly, and then I attached a matching lining underneath the tulle to give it a full effect and a very neat finish.
Aside from making good clothes, I ensure my finishing is very neat, so I focus more on the inside of my outfit.
When I sewed each skirt, I sample it on my dummies to take nice shots of them before my clients even rock them.
I just wore some nice tops on them to fit the skirts I've made. The tops were also made by me, but for today I want to focus more on how I achieved the skirt.
I used a size 18 machine needle for this work since the outfit is soft and easy to work with.
Here is the finished look of my tulle skirt.

Which color is your favorite? I ended up loving the orange one more.๐น
My clients came for their outfits and they were more than excited.
Below is a picture of them rocking the outfit for their dance. I was invited to watch their performance and honestly, I had a great time and their dance was amazing!
I was excited that people referred them to me, it shows that our handiwork speaks for or against us, and we need to be careful of what we deliver to our clients, their satisfaction should be our utmost priority so that we can get more clients through them.
Okay, enough of my talk,๐น๐น๐น I hope my work came out nicely.
Thanks for reading my blog today.
