Description
I have a red dress! Can you believe (until now) I didn’t own anything red?
I know. Shocking.
Well now that’s fixed and what’s even better is that my new dress has candy stripes under the collar and in the pockets! I also drafted the collar myself using Gertie’s incredible tutorial. Feeling pretty pro.

Thanks dutch83! :) It’s a bit of a mix-up… The top is an altered burdastyle bust, I drafted the collar using Gertie’s tutorial, and the skirt is from the Macaroon dress!
Here are the links :)
