Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this prom dress recently for a young 11 year old. She loved her dress and looked beautiful in it when she tried it on at her fitting yesterday. It is a lovely Royal blue. Chiffon outer layer on the bodice and top layer skirt. I roll hemmed the skirt.
I will put up a photograph when she sends me one of her prom, her prom is today.
It took me a bit of time attaching the rhinestones. Pattern is my own. The dress has a corset styled back.
