DIY Dress Cut-Outs

Boat People Boutique's 'Ari's Quick Fix Tutorial Feature Knotted Slits

Boat People Boutique's 'Ari's Quick Fix' video provides tips on how to produce DIY cut-out style dresses. The angular knotted look has taken the world's top stores by storm as it is both modest and seductive, showing only slivers of skin.

Followers of Ari's Quick Fix begin the project with tight or loose-fitting pieces of fabric. Snips taken from the waist on either side are then intertwined as the garment is turned inside out twice, joined together in a twisted manner at the back and front ends of the dress.

This simple DIY design can be further embellished with sewing machines, most likely along the hem lines as they are left frilled and exposed in Boat People Boutique's segment.
