This was my first time using piping. It was a little difficult maneuvering that mid-driff panel. I was going to wait until I had much better pictures to post but I saw OnlySonly used the same fabric on another (super cute!) project so decided to put it up as is. And why oh why can’t I get a full shot of the dress up. working on it….

Your dress is lovely, you did a great job on the piping – I’ve never tried piping – always been a bit too nervous! I love the fabric

Very nice you did a good job on the piping. I am working on this dress as well and also my first time with piping. Good to know it can be done.

to get the pictures to show up just as you would see them on your monitor, get a program like GIMP or if you have Photoshop or something else that will let you crop a certain size, you can use that. I always crop my images to 400p wide and 555 p tall. Very nice dress BTW :) Looks great! and you did a good job with the piping as well.
