Holiday Christmas Festival Dress
My poinsettia holiday dress. Holiday Dress; Not from any movie or book.
I’m aware it looks like a table cloth.
I made it from scratch. It’s a very simple dress, top and bottom, front and back.
The skirt is pleated all the way around, length to the knee, and the bodice has darts, but I left the waistline loose. So it sort of looks like a child’s frock, or a maternity dress. Ribbon at the hem and waist. This was super-fast to make.
1.5yards fabric, 6yards red ribbon, plus neckline trim.
No zipper, the dress is actually baggy enough to slip over my head without the need of a zipper, which is great, and I figure I can always belt it down if it looks too flowy.
My Christmas spirit is strong this year.
The last few months have been difficult, and the whimsical cheer of the holidays is just about the only thing keeping me balanced.
This dress is worn over socks, a sweater, with a black wig, and hair flower headband. Necklace, gloves, light-up glasses.
I know you can't see it, but I'm also wearing lights in my hair, and at the hem of my skirt slip.
