Description
Based on the Charlie pattern, I made this from a polyester dress I wore at Burning Man a few years ago. I was thinking of selling it on Etsy, but I think this one is going to be personal :) Note the pockets… those were from the original dress.
Material Notes
vintage polyester dress, with some Playa karma

I used fold-over elastic trim, nenasew. and dianacirne, ‘Playa’ is the name of the land at Burning Man…

This is the coolest Charlie I’ve seen so far. That funky fabric was put to excellent use.
