Description

This is the outcome of my attempt at the Coffee Date Dress by Elainemay. I did not want to put the rufles at the front, purely because I could not figure out how to do it, without it looking horrible. So I decided to put ruffles around the neck. This dress has taken me about 2 weeks to do. Not because it is hard, but because I am quite lazy!!!!

Material Notes

I bought a set of curtains from a Charity shop. The fabric is quite hard, but I was attracted to the green.
