SOLD Sometimes I luck out and find fabrics in my various stashes that match each other. This turquoise fabric is a very light tissue weight silk taffeta and I wish I could remember where I got it. The matching tulle was left over from the days when I made Barbie clothes for my niece who is now 24. I thought the bodice of the dress in the inspiration pic was so pretty I wanted to try to replicate it. The lining of the bodice is a basic 4-dart bodice. Then I did a lot of dart manipulation to get the pattern for the actual bodice. I did a muslin of this one and did a lot more tweaking before ending up with this. The skirt was cut a full 30" (and the tulle overskirt even longer) and lined with tulle so I could get it all gathered into that tiny waist. The dress closes with snaps in the back. Available for $100 plus $6 shipping in the US.
