Happy Christmas in July!  Even if the season for this is totally wrong, I really wanted to share this video detailing how to add a pretty, frilly, layered front (or back) bustle to your dresses!

Holiday DIY- Sew a Front-to-Back Bustle Style Lolita Christmas Dress
Front to Back Christmas Lolita Dress. This dress can be wore backwards too ^^

Yumi King is a Youtuber who frequently posts DIY videos for making your wardrobe cute!  Turn annotations on if they are not showing up by default~

If I had to add anything, my advice would be to fold your edges under TWICE if you try this out yourself, rather than just once as shown sometimes in the videos, and backstitch at the beginning and end of sewing every line as well. n_n

You will need 1 and half yards of fabrics for making the first part of the dress.
The method(no elastic and zipper method) of first part is same to other dresses, but the measurements are different.
