This is my entry for the November Party Time competition. The dress is loosely based on Simplicity 1157. I sewed the skirt differently pleating the whole way round rather than gathering at the sides like in the pattern. I also added a sash and a bow (which you can't really see in the top picture so I put a close up below).
This is the feather headband I made which I'm wearing in the first photo but you can't see properly. Can you tell I love purple?
If you want to know more I have written about it on my blog.
