Description

I bought the fabric in 2008, and always keep beautiful fabric for the right project! I was looking forward to make this dress, and this fabric jumped out of the cupboard !
it is a halter neck dress, covered back
the dress is made up of 3 parts, a bodice, waist and skirt.
you can make this dress in a day!
i made mine fully lined,
i changed the zip from back to side; and removed the pockets.
also added a little more fabric to the bust.
the pattern cost me R15 ($2) and the fabric & lining R144 ($19)
i will certainly make at least 2 more of this dresses!
