Dress out of Sari

I used my georgette sari again to make these dresses. This time I used the same material but sewed it in different styles. I made a kid’s style dress for my daughter.
The thing that makes georgette fabric distinctive is its crinkly crepe-light texture, which feels slightly rough and dull, but gives the finished article a bouncy, flowing look.
The most challenging part of sewing silk georgette material might be the cutting part.

Although I have sewn with slippery fabrics such as chiffon, I prefer to sew 100% cotton fabric because of the way cotton handles while being sewn.
There is a challenge in creating matching mother & daughter clothes. While it might seem superficial and easy, there’s more to it than what catches the eye.

Purple Dress

One of my favorite concepts is making identical dresses for mother and daughter. My mother used to make them for her and myself when I was a kid. Now I am having fun making them for my daughter and myself.

 

The dress shown here is a 1960s inspired design in floral print. They come in handy for any casual occasion. Going to the beach, running errands, going to the park or even going out to a nice dinner just slip on some heels and off you go! Paves way for fun moments. What a great way for a mother and a daughter to bond through matching clothes. Besides, it definitely garners attention!

Mom & Daughter Dress

Wearing matching mom daughter dresses would be getting in on the 1930's style of dressing fun.

I used to wear sari in India. When we moved to the U S, I brought a lot of them with me. I converted some of them into matching dresses for me and my daughter. It was so much fun sewing these dresses.

I think Mother daughter matching clothes and ensembles is a perfect picture of understanding and love between the two. What do you think ? I can’t wait to see your comments.
