Fabric is getting pretty expensive especially the nicer stuff like brocades that we wanted to use. so instead of buying fabric by the yard at $15.99+ per yard we used one of these found at the local Wal-mart for $9.99. There was plenty to make the dress using only one tablecloth.
So after about a day and a half of fitting the sewing in between jobs and family activities we had planned this fall, we came up with this...
It has a train in the back. Kind of hard to see from the front though. so here is a better shot...
The pattern called for eyelets to lace up the back...uh yeah Well I didn't really want to buy the tool for one project so I improvised and did this....
Pretty amazing what you can do with a little thread, some fancy trim, and one of these...We will get more use out of the dress than just for this Halloween's activities as Kirsti needs a dress this same style for a play she is in that will be in January and Alex's friend is having a "Princess" party next month that everyone is supposed to dress like a princess.I had forgotten how much fun it is to sew dresses for my girls.
