Vintage inspired dress, petticoats and tulle

Black Beauty close upMy daughter has a Middle School dance coming up in February. She saw this lovely dress featured on one of the sewing forums I frequent and asked me if I could design/sew one for her.

I did some searching and found a few close-up shots and told her, Sure! I also told her this would be a great chance for her to flex her sewing muscles and I asked her to join me for some sewing. She eagerly told me yes. I’ll keep the simple sewing for her but when it comes to the petticoat and the yards of tulle, I’ll tackle that myself.

50s inspired dress

She does want her dress in a bright color and I don’t blame her. I love bright colors too. But before I work on this dress, I’ll be making something for myself!
