Description

I’m so happy with this dress! Once again, I used my fantastic $1 Simplicity fabric and thrifted remnants. I had exactly enough for the dress – I even used the selvage for the bottom hem to save length. The bodice is lined, and I changed up the back of the dress (because it was too big, and I’m scared to death of zippers).

Material Notes

Light blue striped thrifted fabric, a bit of thin navy fabric for lining, and elastic.

      I don’t think I’m qualified to do a tutorial for this type of bodice – this was my first one, and I just kind of guessed!
