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: https://www.fabricgodmother.co.uk/fle...

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.
