December Dress for Project Dress Up 2010

I wanted this to be a party dress, one that could be worn through the entire month of December. However, after I finished and scanned it, I thought it looked more like a sun dress. So this is for all those people below the equator, who are enjoying the Christmas season and Christmas colors, but who are also experiencing summer.


The front of the dress is not much different from the back, except the front has a small red bow for decoration. I was lucky that I found two matching ribbons, one wide, one with lace. I attached the large ribbon to a piece of card stock. I only had one sheet, so had to get the entire dress from one A4 size sheet. I used the lacy ribbon to extend the skirt

and to make the straps.


What better way to wrap up the year, than to have a wrap up party. So, here are all the dresses lined up in order of month. As you can see, I made two dresses for February, two for March, and two for April.

From May through December, I made only one dress each month.

And now they are all complete. All in their closet for that lucky "gal" to open and enjoy. Thanks again, Margaret, for making this such an awesome project. I have made so many friends and had so much fun doing this. You are the best host around.

Be sure to check out Margaret's blog for the links to all the other players' dresses this month, too.
