52 Finishes: Week 31- Ellorie's Dress

My friend Brittany is an Artist.  A couple months ago I asked her if she would trade me a dress for a painting of Max.  She agreed, and made THIS awesome painting of Max.  I had the idea of what I wanted to make for a while now, but actually made the dress last week.  Here it is!  Modeling it is my niece Alexis.  The dress is for Brittany's almost 8 year old who is getting baptized in January. 

It's made out of Cotton Sateen mostly, but has a lace overlay on the skirt.  There is also a Satin Sash and ribbon.

 I think it turned our really cute, there were a couple areas I had to troubleshoot.  Like the ruffles- they were er.... fun to work with.  Overall, I am in LOVE, it was a pretty great project.  Its fun to make something from scratch and have it work out.
