It took 6+ hours to sew this trim on. Still not done with the dress but it’s getting there. #madelikemaisel #madelikemaisel2022 @theavidseamstress #avidseamstresssheathdress

Out last night for @thestitchingmagpie birthday celebrations! So great to be ‘out out’ in Brighton again. Recommend @alfieordinary Now that’s what I call Bingo- such fun 🤩 @brightonspiegeltent #neonmooncaberet #blockbarbrighton 🕺🖤🪩💃🏻🙌 #memademay2022 ⬇️ My dress is the @theavidseamstress sheath dress in a black jersey that has a slight shimmer from @fabricgodmother #avidseamstresssheathdress

Can we talk about this Sheath Dress! We are just absolutely amazed at the incredible craftmanship that went into the making of this dress. Mary @thedailysew created this garment with inspiration from Midge - Marvelous Mrs Maisel's dress. She added double-sided ribbon trim from the centre back, around the neck and down the centre front ALL BY HAND ⭐⭐⭐ Mary then created a belt to cover the elastic waistband. Mary your dress is absolutely incredible and we are in AWE. #TheAvidSeamstress #Sewing #SewingPatterns #LearnToSew #DIYSewing #SewingProject #MakersGonnaMake #AvidSeamstress #Makers #MakersMovement #IMadeThis #IndieSewingPattern #IndieSewing #IndieSew #DigitalSewingPatterns #TheSheathDress #TheAvidSeamstressSheathDress #TheAvidSeamstressTheSheathDress #DressSewingPattern #SlowFashion #SustainableFashion #HandmadeWardrobe #SewistsOfInstagram
