Making a Victorian Ball-Gown for an Iplehouse JID
In this tutorial I'll share all the steps in designing and creating two Victorian ball-gowns for a small-chest Iplehouse JID. I did share most of the steps in my blog over a period of several weeks in the summer of 2012, but thought it would be more helpful to combine everything into one thread. There are no patterns, but I'm hoping just seeing some of my techniques might be helpful.
