Hello!! (^o^)/ For the past few days this week, I have been working on sewing this dress! It has wide bell sleeves, like a peasant top, and I decided to make it out of solid pink fabric and a beautiful pink rose print fabric, which made it look like a garden party dress~ I’M SO IN LOVE WITH IT!!
It is not a Lolita dress because the skirt is not long or full enough, however I am considering adding a wide ruffle trim to the bottom of it to add several inches (although even then it still will not be full enough to accommodate a petticoat).
I also made a wide headband out of the pink fabric, which is elasticized at the back, and a big bow from the rose fabric, which is attached with a pin on the back so it can be removed from the headband and pinned elsewhere.
(I’m not wearing makeup in this picture – usually I put at least eyeliner on but for these I was too lazy! oAo)
Today’s selection combines a few different items from the TaoBao brands Bobon21 and Candy Rain! Btw, I always want to type “BoBon” as “BonBon”… for perhaps obvious reasons.
The soft sheer overlay for the skirt adds a layer of dreaminess!!
I really need to get some suspender skirts in my wardrobe,
their shape is so precious.

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
