My Inspiration for this dress was taken from Ms. Demetria Mckinney

I fell in love with the overall look of this dress so when I went to Fine Fabrics it was an absolute necessity to get some "jungle" print fabric..
I absolutely love how this dress turned out and it was fairly Easy to make ...
I used pattern V8825
The only real problems that I had was lining up the shoulder pieces of the sleeve .
It took me a few tries but I was able to get a nice clean finish ...
I plan on making this dress in a solid color with no adjustments but for this ensemble I added length and width to get the flowy look.
When I make the solid color I plan on lengthening the arms because I want more of an exaggerated lazy sleeve as shown on the pattern model.
My arms are so long so whenever I make a dress I ALWAYS have to lengthen the arms...............
I forgot this time :)
OOps!
One thing I adore about this dress is how it came with a " built in" belt because....
I always seem to loose my outfit belts... :-/ So this will be much more convenient !
Overall Success I think ...
Until next time ... XOXOXO

( Note: Be sure when cutting your pattern pieces , that you cut them EXACT... this will help with lining up your pieces correctly )
