It's the penultimate month of the 'Dress Up' project hosted by Margaret over on her blog Alice and Camilla. Every month since the beginning of this year we have been creating a dress and also a wardrobe for them all to live in.
This month I've made a party dress (come on Barbie, let's go party...)
for a fireworks ball. Remember, remember the 5th of November!
The back of the dress is deep pink silk (as are the straps and sash belt).
Then a layer of lighter pink lining fabric
Finally, part of a pink bath scrunchie (unused I might add - lol)
All the fabrics are machine stitched together and the bath scrunchie folds were held in place with some sequins here and there.
Here's the dress in the wardrobe
The other ten dresses are currently being dry cleaned ready for the big finale next month.
As December will be the last month of this fantastic project, I think the final dress will have to be something rather special - I'd better start thinking now!

What a great idea to use the bath scrunchie thingy ! Very cute dress for a party. I was thinking that I really should put a lot of thought into the Christmas one !

Beautiful pretty in pink dress for this month! love the party feel! Your wardrobe looks fab, wonderful paper you've used! I can't wait to see them all hanging together! Mx
What a delightful use of the bath scrunchie-Ken will never know when he picks her up. This is such a pretty dress, and I love your wardrobe. Being dry-cleaned indeed. lol!
I'm not completely sure how I missed this dress, but I really love it. And of course, it is pink, the perfect color for all those fall balls. Your attention to detail is amazing. I'm pretty sure you have left nothing to chance.
I got a good laugh about the clothes being out to the dry cleaners. I would hate to pay THAT bill!
It's just fabulous! What a great use for a scrunchie! Beautiful job.
Totally channels Barbie. Love your dress shape and the textures all in pink !
