In which I attempt to make a Jane Austen dress, and accidentally make a Tinkerbell dress instead

A Photo Essay:

Look Mom! I made a dress!

Pleated darts for the bodice

Look Mom! I made a dress!

Sheer chiffon overlay

Look Mom! I made a dress!

Look Mom! I made a dress!>

Look Mom! I made a dress!

Look Mom! I made a dress!

Look Mom! I made a dress!

Attaching the sleeves

Look Mom! I made a dress!

Puffed sleeves!

My inner Anne of Green Gables is super pleased.

Look Mom! I made a dress!

Look Mom! I made a dress!

I had to buy a zipper.

I also picked up some thread, snaps and ribbon.

I intend to add hidden bra strap keepers to the shoulders with the ribbon and snaps.

Look Mom! I made a dress!

Look Mom! I made a dress!

I thought the sheer sleeves and longer sheer skirt would give it a more modern look.

Look Mom! I made a dress!

Not Jane Austen.

Just need some fairy wings and a tiara, and I can be Tinkerbell for Halloween.

Where's my pixie dust?!
