#dresswithpockets — Public Fediverse posts

Finally done!

I think this is the most complex dress I’ve ever made, in that it consists of a figure hugging top with slim sleeves, a skirt made out of six panels and most notably two very deep pockets (I managed to put a 2l cola bottle into one!).

I’ve made skirts with pockets before, but this is the first dress and I’ll say that I didn’t exactly enjoy the experience of sewing them in, and that there are things I could have done better, but for the time being they are still going to be quite nice.

Length-wise it goes to my calves, with is a pretty good length for a long skirt, since it should reduce the danger of stepping on it when walking up stairs, while still being long enough to keep my legs warm, especially when combined with leg-warmers.

Lastly it matches the design with one of my shorter dresses, so I can even do the thing where I wear the short one during the day and then switch to this one in the night without changing looks. 😊
