My dress

Last Christmas I received some fabric from Robert and Crystal. There were 2 pieces, a pretty white, and a lovely piece of purple rose fabric. For the next several months the material remained in the box, while I waited, for one, to get a coordinating fabric, the other to get a good idea of what to use it for. The idea came about a month ago.

With a pattern of Crystal's for inspiration, I looked through our patterns to find one similar and found Simplicity 5795 (this is not a vintage pattern, but I couldn't find it anywhere online, instead I found a vintage pattern by the same number). With this pattern I set out to make a dress with the pretty fabric (picked out by Robert, I might add!).

With no further ado, here are pictures of the making of my dress.

This was just for fun!

The dress without ribbon, zipper and probably without hem! :D

Ribbon has been added


And the finished product!
I'll try to get better pictures of it.
