I made this for a school project a couple of years ago. I designed it myself and made it by hand. I followed a basic bodice pattern (Kwik sew pattern 3060) and modified the length, size, neckline and added a one shoulder strap. It is fully lined and boned and fastened by hook and eye tape dyed to the correct colour. I had a matching full length fitted skirt with a godet that was embellished with flowers and beads also. Each flower was hand made, hand beaded and attached individually. The bodice consists of over 50 flowers. Total budget = < $40 I used; Chiffon and Organza Delustered Cathedral Satin Hook and eye tape Acetate Lining Plastic Boning Recycled Beads *No idea how long this actually took!
