New Dress: sewn by me

Okay I got inspired to make a dress before finishing my third skirt. I had this wonderful vintage dress, but the fabric was decomposing. That's what happens to old, old cotton sometimes. I just loved the style and cut of it so much to let it go. So I seam ripped it all apart and copied the patterns on to a new fabric. The pleating at the waist took a bit, it's every 1cm for the whole waist! A lot of pins where needed. The fabric is from my grandmother and the buttons have chest pieces on them. I'll have to take a close up picture. It's very Alice in Wonderland. I've so happy with it!
