Description
I used an ultra-cheap polyester knit to test out this dress because I wasn’t sure if I was going to dig the end result, but as it turns out, I’m very very pleased with the style and fit! It kinda reminds me of an ice-skater’s outfit.
Since it was a knit (and a test), I didn’t bother with edge finishes nor did I hem it. Also, I could have done a better job distributing the gathers around my skirt (I ALWAYS have a problem with even distribution!). Still, it’s cute and casual and I’m about to step out in it for a lazy stroll around town.

Very cute dress! You coud try doing a zig zag sitch around the edges and hem, then sewing on some bias binding in a similar or contrasting colour to make them last longer. It looks cute too!

This is the cutest! I couldn’t help but notice you saying you have trouble evening gathers. Check out the tutorial on how to fit gathers to a certain length. It’s great and it sure helped me alot, now my gathers look fabric-made!
-Love, Rusty.

oh my gosh! I swear I came up with the same idea and Im about to put it to action tomorrow when i go to the fabric store. I was thinking it would be cute if the bodice and the skirt were different colors or prints. It might make it interesting. I’ll post mine as soon as I get finished! And great job! its really cute.
