commissioned sailor collar dress final ver.

Here is the final version of the commissioned sailor collar dress. It is made of white cotton and royal blue cotton sateen fabric. I used the same cotton ribbon as the prototype for the lines and the tie at the neck but I bleached it to match the white fabric. The design is almost the same but slightly more fitted around the hip to have less volume in the skirt section. There is also a detachable triangle piece at the neck with snap buttons for when you want to dress smart (or for colder days so you can wear a T underneath).

commissioned sailor collar dress prototype

Hello, I’m still alive. I’d like to show you the prototype for a commissioned dress I have made. It is a simple sailor collar dress made of calico and beige cotton twill fabric, which I had at home. Cotton ribbons are sewn on the collar and the rolled up cuffs to make the iconic lines. There are ties to make a bow at the chest and a welt breast pocket on the left. There are belt loops on the sides and a wide cotton ribbon to go through them. There is a side pocket on the right side of the pleated skirt section.
