Graduation Dress

Tuesday, October 30, 2012

Several months late, I know. I'm at college now, but I thought I'd post about my high school graduation.
I made my dress which I wore under my graduation gown. Not many people got to see it but I think it'll be a good sundress for the future too.




And here is the back:


I used Simplicity 4070 for the bodice, and simply cut the skirt as rectangles. I also substituted a smocked back panel instead of a zippered one, cutting it about three inches wider. It's lined with muslin and it has pockets! Sadly I underestimated the size needed for pockets so I can't fit my hands in them but I can carry a chapstick! 


Bonus: my graduation cap. 


It's partially paint and partially fabric scraps! The girl is dressed in scraps from my prom dress.
