when you can't find a dress, make one.

In less than 2 weeks i'm going to my friend Amy's wedding! For this huge celebration, I must have an approprite dress! After trying on so many dresses that I lost track, I finally broke down and made one.


I bought this fabric when I worked at the Jo-Ann's in North Kent Mall for just a few dollars a yard, and matched it up with casa crepe. The dress is based off of a few patterns combine together, but happened to work! From the front it looks like a halter, but it's not! For accessories I'm going to add a belt, I think. The pattern calls for a sash, but that just didn't look good. The flash made the fabric a little brighter than it looks in most light.


This dress conquered my fear of three sewing things.
1. sheers (cutting and sewing)
2. french seams
3. top stitching
