Making a straight cut gown for myself to attend a traditional marriage

Hello beautiful people of this lovely community, hope you're all faring well,
I'm so excited to publish a post here, Happy children's day to you all, hope you're all faring well and enjoy the day .
I miss childhood days because by now I'd had been at the stadium having lots of fun, oh how time flies
Okayyy, so today i want to share with you all the steps i used in making this long gown for myself to attend my course mates marriage

So i got this style inspiration from a video on TikTok and saved it because I liked it, and had it in mind to sew it one of these days and luckily for me, my course mate invited us for her marriage and i choosed to use that .
I'll explain the steps i used in making the dress with some photos attached
Firstly, i took myself some measurements that I'll be using for the dress and they were

Shoulder measurement
Half length measurement
Bust measurement
Waist measurement
Hips measurement
Full length measurement
Nipple to nipple measurement

And i started by cutting out the half length, i marked my shoulder first and marked my chest line so that i can get to my arm hole measurement which 8, i marked my half length line of which i measured my waist measurement there and then for the neckline, i first marked my normal 3 by 3 inches for the front and then to get the design, from half of the armhole, i came in by 3 inches and from the neck i came down by 5 inches and connected them together to create this design

For the back side, i placed the front on it and added 2 inches for my zipper allowance and the neck line was three by 1 half instead

I then proceeded to cutting the lower part of it, there was nothing unusual here because i marked ny waist measurement, made my hips line 8 inches and then marked my hips measurement on the hips line and the full length too minus the 15inches which was for the half length, i placed it on my lining and cut out same

After all these, I started sewing thereby turning my lining with the cut out cloth so that it will be neat, i proceeded to joining the half lengths to the Lower part of the body, i held my darts and did all that was necessary
Arriving at this point, i picked up the net you see in front and attached it to the dress and for the sleeve, i did a normal long sleeve with a kerchief flare , this is how i achieved the Kerchief

I cut the wrist measurement and attached it to the dress and i was done ,
Since i did a late job, by the time i finished, i was already late so i just wore the dress moved to the event 💙
