Description
This is a strapless dress with a faux peter pan collar kinda thing going on in front, three yellow buttons down the center of the bust, a waistband strap and gathered skirt that zips and ties in the back. I didn’t use a pattern, I just sketched it, measured myself and started cutting it out and sewing it together. the top is faced in the same fabric.
