After hosting the Shabby Apple Giveaway it gave me the desire to make another dress for myself. Sometimes I wonder if it’s really worth all the time and money it takes to make it. Here are some examples of what I mean.
Mint Milk Shake Dress at Mod Cloth VS. Making your own Sis Boom Jamie Dress with Scientific Seamstress
$52.99 + shipping fees VS. $9.95 for the pattern, plus 4 yards of fabric priced at $6 to $15 a yard
Grass Court Dress - Anthropologie.com VS. Making your own with passport dress with Lisette Patterns
This product is sold out. VS. $10.75 for the pattern, plus 4 yards of fabric priced at $6 to $15 a yard.
$39.95 + shipping fees VS. Free Pattern, plus 2 yards of fabric priced at $6 to $15 a yard.
$96.00 + shipping fees VS. $11.19, plus 5 yards of fabric priced at $6 to $15 a yard.
Anne Klein Women's Split Neck Shift Dress VS. Women's Shift Dress sewing pattern Sis by scientificseamstress
$66.99 + shipping fees VS. $9.95, plus 3 yards of fabric priced at $6 to $15 a yard.
Of course some of the advantages of making your own clothes are that you can use fabrics that appeal to you, once you make it the perfect style and size you can recreate it with many different fabrics and when someone asks, “Where do you shop?” you can tell them, “I made it.”
Best wishes and lots of stitches!
