Description
Ah, how I love this dress! Perfect for the unbearable temperatures here. Made the sleeves longer, added ruffles at the hem, not lined but with neckline facing on the outside. Oh, and I omitted the zipper but with a bit pulling and tugging, I’m able to put it on. Mainly, I was to lazy/cheap to buy a matching one but who would want to fight with a bitchy zipper anyway when the temperatures are 35° C and over _
Material Notes
I recycled old bedsheets that surely are older than I am. I KNEW, I would find the perfect garment to use the fabric for. I also used buttons from the sheets and some leftover satin for piping

Beautiful! It reminds me of a flower faerie princess. Sooooo pretty!
I love that you added the ruffle. I too add ruffles and omit zippers on most of the patterns I use as well. I’ve never liked zippers, I prefer pull on dresses instead. And I’m a huge fan of girly ruffles on everything. :)
And bedsheets! I’ve done that too! They come in such great designs and are great for cool summer dresses.

Love it! The fit is perfect, and a ruffle is a great detail.

beautiful sewing, your use of the patterns around the neck and hem looks stunning.

I love it. I always look at potential sheets and duvet covers at charity shops, but I can never see a finished product. I’m so impressed by what you’ve done.
