Pattern is self-drafted. The straps attach in the front via buttons. It has 2 lengths. The back is fully smocked & the front is partially so. Waist is fully elastic. The bodice is fully lined. Waist bow is detachable via pin and can be put on a headband. I made all the little bows. Made the super poofy petticoat that fluffs up the skirt volume, too. ~~Not that it matters.~~ Took about 5-6 layers of tulle.
No way. That dress is cute AF! I'd totally notice a woman wearing that, and be impressed with her style.
That being said, IMO clothes are one of those things we do NOT pay what they're worth, or respect for construction and materials. It would take a special person to see the value and be willing to pay for it.
Would working with a boutique fashion store in a stylish city be a possibility?
