DIY Tulle Dress
[Dress makeover]
Winter or not- you will always cut a dash in a red queen like tulle dress. Hellooo fancy Valentine’s Day! The amazing thing about this tutorial- you won’t need to make the dress from scratch, which can be “painful” even for professionals among us. Pick you favorite, maybe way to short dress and upgrade it with 3 layers of fine tulle fabric. The short bottom of the dress turns into lining and the mini dress turns into an evening gown. Trendy and decent, sort of…
You will need:
- mini dress with spaghetti straps
- 5×3 m of tulle fabric in matching color (get online here)
- sewing machine, pins, 1x matching thread, 1x contrast thread, scissors and long sewing needle
1. Cut the tulle fabric in 3 layers. Each layer should be around 5 m long and 1 m wide. Put the layers on top of each other and secure them with pins.
2. Ruffle the skirt with the needle and contrast thread.
3. Now pin the skirt up side down to the dress along the waist ling from one zipper side to another (as shown on the picture below).
NOTE: you don’t need to close the skirt’s opening. Because of the volume the opening won’t be noticeable.
4. Sew the skirt onto the dress, remove the pins and the contrast stitching and you’re done!
Thanks for reading,

I would say you will need around 3-4 hours. For the tulle fabric I spent around 15 euro. And the dress was already in my closet.
