Party Dress In 7 Simple Steps

Just found this post and it is brilliant! Used your ideas and made a fab top! Thank you

Love the directions. I have made numerous skirts but this will be today's project thank you for the directions!!!!! I will post my version as soon as I am done

This looks gorgeous, I can't wait to try it out! Great instructional pictures too!

hmm, a dress i could actually make. thank you. now I just need to find a needle for the sewing machine then I can make my own!(I broke the needle on my last project. Oops) :3

finally a non stick figure model ;-) ty for the info it's greatly appreciated!

I'm impressed!! You should show your photo's with you and your creations. Own who you are - with your talent you should step out and be proud so that we who admire your talent can honor you.

LOVE it. The Marilyn style is so classic, it will be with us forever. It would be great in a stretchy jersey, too. Wish you would show us a photo, though

Awesome! Definitely going to try this in time for summer!

thanks, this is great!

OmG Asome thanks for shring this pattern with us!! this is so cool so gonna try to make this dress fer my cosins wedding late september yaaay!!

I used gimp. All the images were drawn by mouse, so I'm pleased that it's professional looking! <3

very good explanantion, useful for lots of similar projects too.
I was fuzzy on the whole halter bit thing before i read that.

If you don't have any stuff, rummage through the local goodwill! I've used many a bed sheet to create beautiful dresses!

I'll be trying this!!!!

oh good idea, but i don't have any stuff ;/

My teen daughters are really excited about this one. Thanks so much for showing how to fit *any* body. I'll post pictures when we finish up.

My camera is currently died, so as soon as I manage to get it working again, I'll post a pic of me in this dress. I thought I had gotten one from the party, but it was on my friend's camera, so I'm hoping she'll send it to me.

Thank you so much for this, I have it in my head to make a 50's swing dress for this summer and can really find a pattern!

Awesome job, Thanks! I've never made a dress before, all I find is for girls way smaller then me and I'm not the best at figuring out how to adjust for the curves.
I might actually be able to do something with this! ;0)

also, i LOVE that you say "ta-ta"!!!!! xD

so, im small but do have the figure-8 shape.... would this look good on me? i love it! i bet it looks stellar on you. :-D

Awesome tutorial, and I also would love to see you in your dress!

could you perhaps add a picture of you wearing your dress? i want to make sure mine looks right...phony monroe isnt helping me

This is juuuuuust brill thank yooooooooooou!!!

Great how-to! It's nice to see something for all sizes. Big is beautiful

Yay - a dress tutorial for someone that isn't a twig!! Thankyou so much!! xx

This is awesome! I'm a big girl as well, and you don't always find tutorials for things that are flattering on our curves. keep 'em coming.

I really need to learn how to sew... Thanks for the how-to!! <3

yay! an easy dress for non-barbie like girls! lol great dress, and great tutorial. cant wait to make mine!
