Since silk never comes in pure white, its important to be able to see the white first communion dress before you buy it online, to ensure its white enough and appropriate for first communion.sarahttp://www.flowergirldressforless.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-76089922676884432822013-01-31T13:35:23.389-05:002013-01-31T13:35:23.389-05:00It is a significant garment since it identifies yo...It is a significant garment since it identifies you with the other recipients.

I'm not Gertie, but I think you are missing a piece. 40" is the size of the *pattern* piece, of which you need 2 pieces of fabric- one for the front and one for the back. If you see the second part of her tutorial (linked below the post), you cut the pattern on a folded piece of fabric, meaning you'll get two identical pieces of fabric out of the one pattern piece. You will probably need to go for 80". Hope this helps~ :) Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677610185912578841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-71598192406081050332013-01-09T15:35:44.770-05:002013-01-09T15:35:44.770-05:00I Gertie!

I figured using the 40" wide skirt sizing pattern would be close enough for me. <br />Now that I've cut the fabric and draped it around me, I'm not going to get enough gathers...if any. I think it makes sense since it's only 2" wider than my hip size. It looks more like a pencil skirt. <br />I have extra fabric so I'm going to try again and make it MUCH bigger. 70" instead of 40"? Do you know where I went wrong? Did I misunderstand your directions?<br />~JennaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-58501686152863586842012-10-29T11:51:21.536-04:002012-10-29T11:51:21.536-04:00I've been looking all over for a skirt that is...I've been looking all over for a skirt that is simple, full and with an actual waistband.
