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!

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 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.

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!
