The BEST V neckline & EASY pockets. 2 Celeste Dresses (Itch to Stitch 00-40 US). Fun tier hack.

Two flowy dresses with woven fabrics, a V neckline, princess seams, practical pockets and discreet gathers make this design comfortable, but not boxy thanks to the well-fitting cup sizes. I have made 2 Celeste dresses from Itch to Stitch: one without changes as a pattern tester and the second one, with a two tier gather hack to the center. Super cute. Come and join all the practical sewing in this video!

The Celeste Dress from Itch to Stitch has been updated to include sizes 00-40US (A-DD cup sizes) and is 20% OFF through Monday 30th of August 2021. This is my affiliate link, thank you for supporting me 😊
