Description
I made this for my sister’s homecoming dance. It was a bit hard for me to make cause I’m a beginner and only 13, but I really loved it!
Material Notes
I didn't use silk jersey, I used satin for all three parts and a zipper.

Great Job! This is stunning! I love this pattern and have been dying to try it. I think the satin is beautiful!

this looks great, and especially for a beginner.
i’d love to make this dress now!

that looks great! i wish that my projects came out so well at that age (at least my adult sized ones, my doll clothes were fine!)

upon further inspection, the next time you make it consider a lighter fabric (chiffon sheer, or a lighter satin) for the drape part. i think it will hang better.
other than that, i’m in love with what you did. i might have to copy cat!

that’s quite a project for a beginner! (and one so young) i hate doing zippers :)
you did a great job!
