Bodycon Dress Rave!

Whats the big rave about Bodycon dresses, well for starters they are sexy lol!They are fitted dresses that usually fit like a glove with a little wiggle room. What makes them even more attractive is the fabric and the designs on the fabrics which the dress even more attractive. Thats what gives it all the hype, some of the prints are mind blowing. So I went shopping and found that Topshop brand sold at Nordstrom has some beautiful Bodycon dresses. The prices were pretty decent starting at around $40 up to $120, but being the seamstress that I am I decided to make my own. Here are just a few dresses from Topshop.....

My dress is not the regular straight cut Bodycon dress thats out there, because I used a pattern. I decided to go with Vogue1314 which I found to be very close to to a Bodycon design. Bodycon dresses are usually straight with a high neckline and long sleeves. Lately I've been seeing them with and without sleeves and different necklines. Heres my version.....Hope you like it......

Sorry about the blurry pics but I realized too late :-(

I used a Lycra fabric which is very stretchy. Loved the print!

I cut a size 12 but I think I should 14, after reading reviews I saw it ran a bit big.

The instructions were very easy to follow, easy enough for a beginner. The only tricky challenge for a beginner would probably be the gatherings. But I used the elastic method.

Yes I would sew it again, infact I sewed two already.
