This one is for the Dress Up challenge being run by Margaret on her blog Alice and Camilla which is what started it all off for me and I'm loving it - so thanks again Margaret!
This one is for April and I made it with those beautiful red and yellow tulips in mind, that will soon be popping up hopefully, once all the rain and cold weather we're having at the moment comes to an end. I started with a card base and machine stitched on scraps of silk sari ribbons in a very random manner as can be seen from the close up below! Yay, my kind of stitching - lol!
I need to tidy up the back - maybe ink all over it, but in the meantime you can see all my lovely stitching - and also that my white bobbin run out and I used the only other one I had filled up - black!
I really enjoyed making this one, especially the freedom of the wild stitching and I think it has a sort of quilted look. It is quite scruffy looking though, so maybe it can be Cinderella's ballgown - the one she made herself when the ugly stepsisters were sleeping, and before she had been visited by the Fairy Godmother!

FAntastic work on this one and I love the colours too.
I surely do love this one!!
This is beautiful. I really love the wild abandon look of it. I don't think it's scruffy at all. And that bodice is superb.
Your sewing is wonderful. I often use a different colored bobbin thread, especially black. It adds to the top stitch so well.
I'm addicted, too. Can't stop making these fun dresses, thanks to Margaret and her super Dress Up project.
It's beautiful; the back looks like an art quilt with the different coloured bobbin thread. Really cool!
Definately not scruffy Sherry. I think it's fit for a fairy queen. :) It's beautiful.xx
I LOVE random!
Oh Sherry it's really gorgeous, definitely Cinder-ella's.
An amazing dress and so are your other ones in your 2 previous posts!
Fabulous.
Happy Easter Sherry!

Totally fab Sherry!! I love everything about this dress, from the shape, to the colour and texture you've created with the stitching. Gorgeous dress fit for a glam gal! Margaret
