I was pretty disappointed in the directions. I struggled to figure out how to attach the various layers of side bustle/skirt. I would have also benefited from some advise on what kind of netting to use. I used a way too soft netting and it still stuck out from the bustle and I ended up cutting it out about 1" from waist seam line. Bustle is bigger than I had hoped for. Should have cut it a smaller size. I got through it and I am sure my Cinderella will be very happy.
I have made many versions of this dress, its surprisingly not as time consuming as it looks. I've even lengthened the bodice and paired it with other skirts, like Embry's romantic tutu, for a completely different look. Love this pattern.
A great pattern that has such versatility! Easy to follow with beautiful results, perfect for those special occasions. Love it!
Love this one. Beautiful dress. Well written instructions.
