^the first photo is me in my dress and the second is the flower^ It certainly is a fantastic feeling when you wear something that you have made especially when you have put so much time and energy into it!!! A few months ago, I thought I would try making a something different and our good family friend helped and advised me on how to make a dress (clothing is something I had never tackled before!). The first thing I did was choosing material and since this dress was going to be fancy I decided to choose a fantastic fabric called Taffeta. After afew hard working sessions of dress-making the dress was completed- just in time for the cruise me and my family were going on. I wanted to wear it for a formal night but I knew it needed something else so in the cabin I stitched away to make the flower. I hope you like it! little tip: If you plan on making a dress add something to it to make it you own!
