How to sew easy way. Making the casual dress without the pattern

Why would one wants to make a dress  if there's plenty on the market and very cheap?
And the answer is very simple - there are  plenty but not a single dress that fits. Especially If you a plus size.
I recently looked in Evans that once was a nice shop with great stuff,  but now all shop floor look very sad and boring.
Why those designers  (if you call them designers ) decided that plus size  crowd  should wear only black or boring dark colours and awfully cut, misshaped clothes. Leave alone the shoes... in my opinion orthopedic  shoes looks more attractive than Evans  shoes.  Ir looks like they been made by blind people using cheapest most ugly materials.
But for now  let's forget the shoes and go back to dresses.
So in this case when market can't offer what we want the only solution is to make your own dress that fits you perfectly. And it shouldn't be rocket science.
I am preparing now a video tutorials on how to make simple casual dress using your  measurements that would fit you perfectly, and you will be able to make as many dresses as you wish quick and easy.
I promise you will forget jeans and shapeless t-shits and start wearing elegant dresses















Here just a few examples of simple plus size dresses perfect for any occasion.

Sewing the corset toile

Chenile Blazer decorated with zipps

This blazer idea took inspiration of great match of navy blue with gold, and result turned out great

simple blazer with many zipps running all directions... it has skimming effect and I received many compliments for that blazer











Easy cut light coat with the scarf detail

When winter weather get's into your bones everyone wants sometime warm and snug to stay nice and warm. So I came across very nice and  soft pure soft wool fabric and couldn't resit to buy it for light and warm coat.


Well I was not so keen on checks but wool was so soft and not itchy at all so i took the chance.
I used very simple cut and main focus was on a scarf detail


Also I did not want any top stitching seams on this soft fabric as it would look cheap so all the finishing is done by hand and snaps instead of regular buttons. 

I am so addicted to natural fibers fabrics that rarely use any polyester, just wool, silk, viscose, or linen.
This jacket is no exception. To finish edges I used silk jacquard stripes cut on bias (binding), and all edges finished by hand sewing as well as pockets attached by hand swing. 
In fact there's no visible stitching on the pretty side, all blind stitched.


 And the final result looks great - very high quality coat with luxury finishing
