Junebug pattern remix

    Newer Older

    :: repurposed a long (42 inch) silver dupioni silk skirt (label read 100% acetate but I think that's just the lining) for the fabric
    :: fully lined
    :: kept the original invisible zipper from the back of the skirt for the back of the bodice, so I didn't need the button closures in the front
    :: sewed on by hand 30 tiny silver jingle bells along the left & right edges of the front bodice flap detail
    :: inverted pleats in the front, gathered in the back
    :: dropped the waist down a bit
    :: added a silver sequin removable cumber bund and made a matching silver sequin headband
    :: sleeveless bodice (where I made my own bias tape from the leftover fabric)

      thanks for mentioning the inverted pleats (I mistakenly wrote box pleats, but now have corrected it)
