Please describe the dress to her as though it were to be worn at a Fashion Show.
This is so easy. I wear a size 1 and I made one sort of like this.
1. White satin=make a simple straight sheath.
2. White lace=make a tiny Mandarin collar and small caps at the shoulder, like half moons.
3. Crushed white velvet=Fold it so it makes a long rectangle, sew this together. This is the shawl,
4. Take all the organza and cut into various marquise shaped sizes. You will need short ones for the sleeves and 2 different lengths for the waist.
5. Take the ribbon and make a long flat woven braid. Set aside.
6. Lay all the marquise shaped fabric on wax paper apply the glue around the edge, sprinkle with the glitter. Do one at a time. Let dry, completely.
7. Sew various colors to the lace at the shoulder hiding your stitches, sew seed pearls into the lace.
8. Sew remaining shapes to the braid, attach this to the waist.
The Fashion Show:
Your daughter will look lovely in this original Faery Tale gown, as she waltzes into the room all eyes will turn to see a true princess in soft organza with dewdrop kisses. The crushed velvet shawl will keep her warm, when her Prince Charming calls for her at the door. A dress fit for a faery princess.
