Holiday Dress number 2, the Let it Snow Dress. This dress was made to last through the winter but has the flair for the holidays. So let’s get started. |
Ok for sewing, first sew the lace to the bodice pieces along the neckline for the front piece and along the side and neckline for the back pieces. |
Then turn the lace around the the front and sew the bodice pieces together at the shoulders. |
Then sew it together at the side seams, and you have a bodice. |
Then sew the sleeve right sides together. |
Sew both sleeves to the bodice.Done! Now on to the skirt… |
The picture (although blurry) shows layer 3 sewn to layer 2 (there should be two layers) Ruffle the top of each layer separately |
You are almost done, You just need to add buttons and a little flair 🙂 |
I sewed buttons down the back and added little elastic loops on the other side of the flap to secure around the buttons (you could do button holes if you wanted |
Then since I just love them so much I made the flowers (tutorial here) and sewed them on with some little beads around the neck. |
That’s it! The perfect little holiday fluffy twirly frosty dress. Enjoy! |

Fabulous dress!! I love the lace overlay on the bodice! And the muted silvery gray is perfect for a winter dress! I linked to your tutorial over at Craft Gossip Sewing:<br />http://sewing.craftgossip.com/26481/2010/12/11/<br /><br />–Anne
