I came up with the idea to make this DIY long sleeved fitted maxi dress with a train last year. It was a creative vision STUCK in my mind that I couldn’t get rid of until I actually went ahead and made it happen. During a road trip to Los Angeles we stopped by the Fashion District and I was ecstatic to say the least. There were fabrics of all textures and colors flowing into the streets. Never had I seen such a sight, so for me running in and out of each store was epic! My favorite shop was a small African shop I visited full of variety in color, pattern, and texture. One African print attire I have already made was a beautiful skirt you can see here.
Making this dress was so much fun to me because I was able to tailor the fit just for me. Check out my YouTube video to see how I achieved this look and how you can do the same for your next special occasion.
