So here it is! beautiful couture touches with the hand pleats you did, I like the final version, I also liked the way the top looked with the lining :) Great job!

What a beautiful dress! I think I would love to see it on you. :-) It looks almost like a dress for a fairy!

Teresa— no, the fabric came like that. And it was on going-out-of-buisness sale too, so I couldn’t pass it up!
Armywife— I’m still trying to figure out how to work my way around this site, and since a great deal of the pattern was draped onto a dummy, I’m not sure how well a how-to would translate. But I’ll see what I can come up with when I get a chance. :)

I love it. Feminine and flirty. The kind of dress every girl needs. I would love to see a how to for the pattern.

That is so pretty! Did you tie dye the fabric yourself or did you find it like that?
