green elven dress

Created: winter 2003

This was the first dress I ever made. Actually it was the first project I ever sewed, so it's very simple and followed the pattern pretty carefully.

Pattern: Good old Simplicity 9891 view A without the drape

Fabric: I think it was called Alova Suede

Assembly: Since this was my first dress, it was pretty straight-forward. I followed the directions for view A, left off the drape, and made the sleeves out of the same fabric as the main dress. My friend showed me how to put a zipper in and I added trim from JoAnns around the edges of the neck and sleeves for decoration. And that was that.

Alas, this dress is no more, and shall never be again. I decided to alter it. For information on its current state, check out Eowyn's Green Dress page.
