Description

This dress was originally a very strange big puffy “pilgrimy” dress made with African batik fabric (I think). It originally was my Aunt’s and I told her that she looked as if she belonged with Amish folks, lol. After we both chuckled, she stripped it off and handed it over to me and told me to make something. And this is what turned out! I would wear this for the rest of my life if I could..still looking sane.
PS. It was made based on the picture of the Azalea dress.

      Thanks. I thought about taking a picture of it…right AFTER I cut it….lol. I get so excited about cutting it up that I forget that part.
