Ha! I finally cut out the fabric for my sister’s dress (well, except for one little piece I still need to cut out). It was rather intimidating so I put if off for a while (my new motto is “just do it”). There are almost nine yards of fabric in this dress. Most of it’s in the skirt (and a lot in the sleeves). Check out the pattern piece for the front of the dress (outlined in a paint program):

I’m using this pattern (see mccallpattern.com for details):

The pattern pieces were folded so poorly that I “had” to iron them. They got very static electricity-y. I was very amused for around half a minute when I stuck a piece to the wall:

I hope to sew it all together this week.

God bless!
