This is one of my favorite dresses I've made so far. The fabric is very light and flowy. I added extra fabric near the bottom, making it excellent for dancing and twirling. :) The top pieces can be pushed together or pulled apart(third photo), depending on how showy you'd like to be. Can be dressed up or down, great for any occasion!

Here is a short halter dress with an appliqued butterfly. The break of pinkish-red also has a butterfly print on it. The matching headband is made of fabrics used in the dress and is also reversible.

I like the lace-up back of this dress. There is also elastic below that, able to fit multiple body types.

I will have to get some closer shots of the patterns of the material used in this dress, but there is a slight polka dot theme (because I love polka dots!). The bust and bottom ruffle are brown with white polka dots, a curtain in a former life. There are also white polka dots on brown randomly throughout the dress.

This dress is very comfortable! The material is stretchy, fitting a wider range of people. I also made a matching headband with some excess fabric.

This dress was made out of some vintage fabric I was lucky enough to find. The style reminds me of a beautiful picture of my grandma when she was probably near my age, holding out her dress like the middle photo. The dress straps tie so it is somewhat adjustable, resting on the waist (as shown) or below the bust.

What was once a skirt...later became a dress! I was excited about it, don't judge me by my facial expressions! The top piece I added, I tried to mirror the angles of the piece below it. I also did something new with the straps, only going over one shoulder. I like the lines of this piece.

This is one of my favorite festival dresses I've made so far. I have used the green spiral fabric in a couple different projects-I love spirals! I wanted to follow the motion of a spiral with the tree embroidery. I also tried something different to give the trunk of the tree a more 'bark' like look. I also put a couple extra loops below the open back area so the dress would be more fitted in the waist. I thought about keeping this dress, but I can't keep them all!

Here is one of my long summer dresses I made this year. I really liked how big and bold the print of this fabric, large and in charge if you will! I also like the hoop, I felt it worked well with the style and print of the dress as well.

This is one of my first "festival dresses" I made a summer or two ago. It zips in the back, plus ties to compliment the womanly waist of its owner.
