Not bad going, in my own opinion, considering I hadn't sewn anything in about 16 years and never, never done a zipper! ‘Ere it is (they are, I made mine and my Chicky of Dishonour’s dresses)

And the fabric is pretty awesome as well. I was my local op-shop (thrift-shop to you, I think) and I was browsing through the fabrics when I saw this awesome fabric, which I just had to buy because for some reason it looked familiar. When I got home and was putting it in the washing machine, I saw the selvedge with the printed words: Michael Miller Mirror Ball Dot. It hit me all at once where I had seen the fabric before: On this post! Only the fabric I got has a blue background, is 1.75cm long, absolutely perfect and only AU$4 - whoo-hoo! Bargain! I'm making a pleated skirt out of mine and I hope it turns out half as perfect as your dress. Cheers, Sarah :) I love that dress – it’s just soooo … dressy! And the fabric is pretty awesome as well.

And, yep, a size 20. I went according to the bust size. In the picture I had a petticoat on. I got it on ebay doing a search for crinolines. If I didn't wear the petticoat it wouldn't have puffed out so nicely. :) Thank you. And, yep, a size 20. I went according to the bust size. In the picture I had a petticoat on.

(the shoes are fab too) I can not believe that you are anywhere near a size 20 (you have that the pattern is a size 20??) I like how the underneath bodice bid is a bit gathered looking....it looks like it is meant to be like that. Does the skirt sit out so well because you have a petticoat under it, or would it without the petticoat? (and what was the petticoat like....all gathered etc?) You have done a really great job on this, congrats. I just came across this site because I was looking at shirring...about to go and do that nowl thanks for the tute.

I'm about to sew the same thing (in about a size 22, with about a 26 waist. I swear I'm not that big!) Love your cartoon - I've only recently found a sewing buddy and if she ever moves away I'll have to stalk her or something (um, that wasn't meant to sound quite so creepy, just that I LOVE having a sewing buddy at long last!)
