Description

This one is my first dress seriously made (almost all my projects were made for fun only), so I had to take care in how to cut the fabric, the measurements, the zipper!!! (that’s my major fear)
As I’m not a so curvy girl specially in my upper body, I decided to add a lot of ruffles but I’m too lazy to sew along de edge of the very long ruffle so I used a lit candle to burn de ruffles edges. The result: fabulous!

Material Notes

Not really sure about the name of the fabric but as I used fire to "melt" the edges I suposse it's some synthetic material. Nylon thread to attach the ruffles to the chest area
