Re: Lily Allen Dress

Yeah, mine was for a fancy dress hen night as well. How are your sewing skills as I made mine from scratch? I ended up getting the fabric off of ebay, her's has a clock motif on it, but I just went with any fabric with bright patterns and a black background. Essentially all I did was traced the outline of one of my dresses and added the a-line shape to the bottom (remembering to leave a seam allowance). I sewed the two pieces together (with darts at the bust) and added a zip in the back. I hemmed the bottom and arms. I then drew a pattern for the peter pan collar and bow. I didn't keep any of these patterns unfortunately as they were pretty rough. An a-line dress is pretty simple, even if you got a generic pattern. It's usually just two pieces that you sew up the sides. Let me know if I can be of further help.
