Description
I use JJ’s bodice sloper/block to make the upper part. The sleeves was drafted from an old book called Pattern Drafting vol. II, published by Kamakura-Shobo Publishing in 1970. I bought the book very cheap a couple of years ago in a secondhand bookshop. The lower parts were drawn on the fabrics without pattern.
As I always like the selvedge part of a fabric, I use them as ruffles on the center front of the dress. The opening of the dress is in the back by invisible zipper. I also added a pair of invisible pockets on the side seams.
Love it.

Wow. You really put together a great dress and an awesome outfit altogether. I really like the idea of using the selvages too! Interesting detail for the garment, and it saves some finishing or edging work.
