Yes, my Mom bribed me to dance. It was at a Lutheran youth retreat. She said she would buy me a pattern and fabric if I danced. So I did of course! (I hate dancing) Y’all will say that anyone who likes dresses should enjoy dancing. Bad me.
I found this pattern on Ebay. Yay!
I combined the two views so it would have the longer sleeves and the cool gathered side pannels. The skirt is way more than a full circle. The pattern suggests wearing many petticoats. If I had many petticoats I would wear them (if I had a party or some such craziness to go to…) How many “young adults” get invited to parties they could wear such a dress to? Oh yeah. I should go to dances. I’m home schooled. There aren’t any dances to go to. Even if there were… I wouldn’t want to go! Gah!
You can sorta see the side panels in the close-up.
That is so beautiful and I LOVE the fabric! Great job!
That is a really beautiful dress… even if it never goes dancing 🙂 Well done.
Your dress is beautiful and I love that pattern. It is a shame we don’t have places to go so we can dress up. LOL.
Awww, I love that dress. Now it’s time to come up with some excuses to wear it right 😉 Good job, its beautiful.
It’s so pretty! What a wonderful dress & pattern! 🙂
