I&rsquo;m still refining this self drafted princess seamed bodice, and am now I think finally happy with it.<br> The fabric I&rsquo;ve used for this dress was bought in three small remnants from a local soft furnishing fabric shop for 50p!!<br> I do love the challenge of making a whole dress out of a few pieces of fabric. These pieces were fun to work with because the right and wrong sides of the fabrics are equally beautiful. Not being able to decide which sides I liked best combined with such small pieces to work with meant that I used all sides in a kind of (hopefully) successful way!</p>
