I dared to design a dress for Shabby Apple's dare to design contest. The dress is inspired by flowers and represents their delicacy and peculiar shape. It is a Spring dress and it would be really nice to be able to take photos in the meadow. Unfortunately, it is almost freezing out there, so you will have to content with those:
Fabric for the dress should be light and soft flowing, except for the waistband, which should be stiffer. I used cotton for the waistband and blends for bodice (lightweight) and skirt (mediumweight). I imagine this dress in colours like rose, peach and apricot, but the skirt should always be darker than the bodice.
I love this dress! The material on top and the floral pattern go really well together and add interest to the whole thing. The ruffles are cute too. It just all looks so sweet! Great job, I might have to copy a bit of that dress for myself, if you don't mind. It might encourage spring to arrive early (you never know)!
