Cotton candy.

White Carnival Dress




This started out as a knee length skirt, but I hiked it up to my chest and felt like it worked a lot better. I slapped some straps and a belt on it and called it a dress. I made it to go along with this magical petticoat I found at a thrift store.

It's ridiculously girly and over-the-top...I'm not sure if I'll be wearing this in public a lot, but I still dig it! This was the largest circle I've ever cut, it took three yards of fabric. Hemming was beyond obnoxious. I still haven't mastered the delicate art of hemming a circular cut, since the fabric tends to distort when it's not at a straight grain.
