Inari Tee Dress hack
Thursday, November 10, 2016
Late to the party as ever, here's my very first Inari Tee Dress! I love Named, and the Inari is one of those totally beloved patterns of the sewing community, so I can't quite believe it's taken me so long. I guess I had been pretty tentative due to the shape, or lack of, and concerns over whether it would suit me... But you know what, I think I quite like it!

The Inari is one of the easiest and most straightforward garments I've made in a long time. From start to finish, the whole sew time was only about 3 hours. For the waist ties, I cut and made them based on the Kielo Wrap Dress laces (just a bit shorter in length). The side tie is sandwiched and stitched between the side seams, and the centre front tie is attached in the way you might attach a bag strap - I think it sort of works.

I think you look really cool 😎 it's a very chic dress x
ReplyDeleteThank you Frankie! It's a bonus that it was really quick to make :) x
DeleteThis is awesome! I love the suede look. In fact I started planning a copy of that same dress when I saw it too - I plan to use a simple kimono-sleeve shape and slice up the front so I can wedge the tie into the seam.
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie - I've loved the version that you've made! Can't wait to see your hack! The kimono sleeves sound great :)
Deletelove those waist ties, it really makes it. fabulous make and love the way you have layered it..... v inspired
ReplyDeleteThanks Eimear! I have the cold weather to thank/blame for the layers - it sort of works though, which is great :)
DeleteI love your version of this pattern! Simple and chique!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Looking forward to being able to wear it without the layers for an even more simple look :)
DeleteI love this silhouette on you - as soon as I saw it on my feed, it immediately caught my eye. And I love the layers - obviously! Wish I could have been with you at the weekend - it looked fab! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Aimee :) It's a new silhouette for me so I'm really pleased it sort of works - especially with the layers! We missed you too at the weekend - will definitely have to plan something in again very soon xx
