Description
Here is my first dress. I sewed it for my girlfriend (pictured). We found a dress we liked online and I set out to make it for her. I used a dress, which my girlfriend had, to get the general shape and dimensions. The dress had a simpler bodice and a skirt without pleats. I added the gathering in the front of the bodice and the pleats to the skirt. It is lined with a lining fabric.
After finishing my coat this dress was a breeze; the zipper was the trickiest part.
