Fulfilling DJ's request




Not sure why I didn't notice the pictures are a bit wonky but here is the dress.  Karen did the finishing of the dress which took a lot longer than I thought so I apologized to Karen for taking up her short time here by making her be behind the sewing machine.  If I get anything wrong Karen can straighten me out.  The original pattern had the dress length too short so added the orange lining and added 2".  The straps are 1 1/4" wide.  Karen suggests not to have so much gather at the waist.  I think she said take 6" or more off from the width.  Hope this helps Katy out a bit.  I am pretty sure I would need 2x size 12 and if the skirt pieces can fit beside each other on the fabric (by making them slimmer) that will save a lot of fabric.  Just remember to add to the length.
