This was the dress I made for NYE I started out creating a structured tux style dress but then I slowly transformed it to this more romantic billowy style dress
stiff cotton

Love this dress. Just learning to sew myself and was looking for ideas to transform a bridesmaid dress into a graduation dress (i graduate from nursing school in may), Love the little pin tucks!

wow Bows! I just read you bio and it says you started sewing summer 09!!!! You have a real gift and great personal style…lucky you :) keep up the good work.
BTW did you do the structuring of the fabric in the skirt on this dress because it really makes it?

did I do it or how did I do it?
I did by just pinching pieces of the fabric and pulling it under itself and then hand tacking the pieces in place…it was very time consuming! but I think it was worth the results! :)
