This dress was definitely the most
time consuming. I made this before I had a ruffle foot for my sewing machine AND I used
chiffon (not the easiest fabric to work with). I cut many strips of
chiffon, sewed them into a tube, went through each tube with a gathering
stitch, gathered them by hand (with the help of my mom - I'm not as
patient as she is and if the stitch broke....I had to start over), then
sewed them onto the actual dress.
I
believe I chose tan because again, it probably looked the least tacky.
Black or navy would have been pretty, but the detail wouldn't have shown
up as well. I love detail work and fabric manipulation, so this dress
was perfect for me.
I also made the matching jewelry.

I
love this dress. It was very delicate and special to me so I only wore
it to one prom
