Be Dreamy Open Sleeve Hack
Hello Everyone!
I'm so excited to be able to share with you my Open Sleeve mod for the Be Dreamy dress! You know, the dress with endless possibilities, that looks so good on every body type! :D
As soon as it came out, I knew I had to have it. And I had the perfect fabric for it.
Except. That I only had 3 yards- just shy of the recommended yardage- and being 5'10”, I was going to need every bit of it.
So what's there to do, but improvise? ;) I knew I still wanted a sleeve that was light and airy, and would compliment the style of the dress, but what?
An open sleeve! And since ¾ sleeves are my jam, that's the length I went for. I had never done an open sleeve before, much less without a pattern and no actual sleeve piece to go by, so I decided to give it a try with the sleeve from the Autumn Spice Top(another favorite), as my base. And it worked! It worked perfectly!! And it worked using the smaller scrap pieces I had left over from cutting out the rest of the dress! So without further ado, let me show you how you can recreate the look
