Thank you so much for your generous comment;) For my shop I plan to make a shirt which will have most of the elements of this dress- that as soon as my dressform arrives, not that it’s really related, but I just can’t think of anything else till then:)

It is very beautiful dress. This remind me about Senator Amidala in ‘’Star Wars’’ :) Meanwhile im wondreing if you would discover more about using another type of fabric for your amazing dress?

thanks Jenny! I’d say cotton works best! I used cotton – blended. Thin denim would be awesome.

really beautiful! looks like a very complicated pattern – is it so?

It became relatively complicated… especially as I made it as I went along… the initial sketch had a simpler fuller skirt with a few pleats and I changed my mind last minute – I’m glad I did!
