A while ago my gurl, Coral,
gave me a bag of fabric and clothes
to use for the Circus Gypsies & Gentlemen collection.
Included in there was a parrot-patterned scarf
that was just begging to be turned into a trapeze dress!!!
So I drafted a pattern,
pulled out an old curtain that I had lying around,
and got to cuttin’!!!
I used the curtain for the lining cuz both fabrics are really sheer,
and took it’s hemmed edges to make the straps!!!
Before adding straps and ruffles…
(Can you tell by my face that I LOVE IT?!!!)
I used that hemmed curtain to make the bias tape, ruffle, and straps.
I also added some elastic to the back so it fits a bit better…
AAAAAND…
Here’s what it looks like so far!!!
I’m gonna rouche one side, so it’ll end up looking like this:
Now I’ve jus gotta hem it and finish it up
and we’ll be good to go…
Stay tuned for the final product!!!
<3
