MeMade Clothing: Hinterland Pintuck Shirtdress Hack

Sunday, April 28, 2024

This is a very hacked Sew Liberated Hinterland Dress from the Creative Hinterland course in medium-weight linen in 'Apple Cinnamon' from Fabricsstore.com.

The Pintuck Sleeveless Shirt Dress: mostly followed the drafting instructions exactly. With skinnier waist/back ties only ever tied very loosely, otherwise I end up with hilariously accentuated hips! I also finished the dress while traveling, so the bias binding is entirely sewn on by hand, resulting in a nearly invisible attachment from the front side.

Next time I’d be even more careful sewing the shoulder dart into the pin tuck, to hide it even better. And I’d also draft the pin tucks to be even wider, if possible, to accentuate their existence. Perhaps reduce the hip width a little bit, too. I wouldn’t mind emphasizing the shape of the bottom dress more as well (bringing it up shorter on the sides? Or making the front flat bit more narrow?).
