Description
Love, Love, Loved this piece. I just made the JJ blouse into a western dress. I made the ruffles longer and placed them closer together. Oh, also added a ruffle to the collar.
Material Notes
Really thin cotton gingam? and pearl snaps.

Love this dress, you did a great job. i really like what you did with the ruffles, moving them together on the front piece and adding one at the collar, great details. Love the buttons too!
