Description
I must confess that I am very proud of this dress. It’s my first dress and I’m only thirteen. I made it on the mannequin but I pass him myself. There is no thread hanging on it anymore and everything is nicely finished, because I’m quite a perfectionist. I have a purple satin-like fabric used, a purple zipper and a lot of bias tape, even purple of course. It was also the first time I used a zipper. Throughout the dress is about 3.5 meters fabric. Unfortunately I do not have a gala to wear it but making it was very nice too. I think I worked about a week on it. I hope you like it!
Material Notes
satin-like fabric, zipper, bias tape

Wow. 13?!?! I almost can’t believe it, your talent so young and your patience to make a ballgown is amazing and inspirational. If you keep interested and keep working at it, you could have a career in fashion design.

This dress is really good i love what you did with the drapery and i must say the back is really amazing, i love it when a dress has a open back i cant wait to see more from you. I myself am 16 and im still learning how to draw a pencil skirt pattern and look at you your way ahead of me. I feel some friendly competition coming on. LOL

thanks! I was a bit scared that the color looked weird on the photo, because it’s very shiny, but the color didn’t changed, thanks again!

Hey, that’s cool, I was 13 a couple of years ago. Only, that was backwards, as in 31, but still :) This is great stuff, you’re going to be totally awesome in a couple of years and have all the prettiest dresses! Also: proficiat met je mooie jurk, paars is mijn lievelingskleur :)
