fancy and zippers
I bought this pattern because I love how the tulle comes out of the bottom. It looks very special occasion to me. I also wanted to learn how to put in zippers without much intimidation. Its a win-win!!!
Melody’s Dress is a trendy new take on a classic look, with features such as a fitted bodice, attached sash, and a full skirt with a built in petti. Your little girl will love the square neckline and the pop of color from the tutu trim at the bottom. You can use fluffy tulle or soft nylon chiffon. Melody’s has pretty sleeves that are somewhat fitted but still comfy, as well as a sleeveless option. And best of all – Melody’s provides a perfect fit through the bodice from the use of a zipper, and putting in a zipper has never been easier than how we do it in this pattern! Here’s your chance to learn a valuable new skill while still staying within the intermediate sewing level! Melody’s is fully lined and can be made with your choice of woven fabrics. The sky is the limit now lets see what YOU can do with it!

darling dress!

ZIPPER!!!!
Although I have not made this complete dress I have used it to help with ZIPPERS. Before purchasing this pattern I didn’t touch zippers, now I’m a pro. Even if you don’t like the looks of the pattern (which I do) you NEED the pattern for an easy 1,2,3… steps for installing zippers.
LOVE IT
