DRESSING UP

.

I wasn't planning on doing a tutorial on this dress when I created my LGS LO, so please excuse the marks where I've pulled it apart and put it back together again for photographing the steps! LOL!

.

.

.

.

STEP ONE
Spray with music with mist
.

.
STEP TWO Cut out the skirt shape
.

.
STEP THREE

Place creases in the skirt

.

.
STEP FOUR

Repeat steps but cut the second skirt a little smaller.

I've faded the blue mist as I went down the skirt from darker to lighter
.
.
STEP FIVE

Cut this shape for the bodice out of the blue misted paper,

add a little gauze at the top of the bodice, and some red fine cord as a halter neck strap by attaching at the back
.

.
STEP SIX Glue the bodice to the inside of both the skirts
.
.
STEP SEVEN

Tie some cord around the waist
.
.
STEP EIGHT

Add some fabric around the halter neck strap and tuck under the waist cord

.

.
STEP NINE

Add a little bit of gauze to look like an underskirt or petticoat effect
.
.
STEP TEN

Attach some trim to the waist and let fall down the skirt.

Add some flowers
