Searched forever for a long sleeves a line dress pattern. Couldn't find one. Then I tried to but a vintage pattern and alter it, a total disaster. But, in the process of looking for those patterns, I found all sorts of tutorials and patterns that I ended up putting together in this outfit. I used quite a few how-to's and free patterns for this one, I will try to list all of them and what I did as best I can. If you have any questions just ask! I will post another on how I make the headdress, shoes and cape. How you like it!
