My First Ever Dress!!

My sister has asked me to make her a few dresses which I am really excited about, she is a very beautiful women and it will be a total pleasure to make clothes for her.

In order to get my head around what I would be doing for her, I made myself a version of what I think she is after. I finished it this morning and I proudly wore it around town all afternoon. I dropped in to see my sister who works for a big high street clothes shop in Nottingham town centre and she LOVED it, one of the other staff said it looked like one of their dresses so I was chuffed to bits.

I'm a bit nervous about this one as it is my first dress and I made it without a pattern....



Yay!!!!

Ah ha! Thanks to the wonderful Mr T here is another shot of the dress:







It's made from crepe fabric brought from Victoria centre market and has a Sabrina neckline, shirred waist and full skirt. It's lovely to wear and my sister is very excited to get her version of the dress now, we are going fabric shopping later on in the week :D

Love Lola x
