    I made this dress for a friend of mine who wanted me to make something for her. So I think this dress is for her, unless she backs out . The fabric in this is really what makes this beautiful, the pattern is simple. I used a woven Gautemalan and black thinwale cord. Theres a couple pockets in the panels on the side that will hold small things. I really like this dress, If it fit me I'd prob keep it!!
    Here it is:

    Nice! Gotta love that Gautemalan fabric - it can make for some beautiful simply cut pieces! :)

    Thanks you guys! I had that fabric sitting in my "expensive" pile for a while really nervous about cutting it, but today it needed to be a dress! Man that stuff was like $10 a yard but its sooo worth it just for the feel of it!

    Thanks for the compliments, it does kinda remind me a bit of the green fairy :) Or a slytherin :) My friend is not sure about the colors so she told me to put it up for sale if no one buys it she wants to try it on, but she won't be here till Halloween. So I put it up on www.fromthefigtree.etsy.com just in case anyone is interested :)
