Making a Pick-up Skirt


One of my current projects is reproducing this Flower Girl dress for a client. Her daughter is too small for her age to fit into a ready made dress. The skirt is in a "Pick-up" design. To create this look I will use a technique like that found on THIS tutorial. I thought you might be interested in seeing how it was done, too. :)

I can't wait to start tackling this project! I just know it will turn out lovely. I've been wanting to make a flower girl's dress for awhile!

  3. Hi Amber! Sorry, I don't have time to make one now - I'm still in graduate school. But you should look online, I'm sure that you'll be able to find something similar. For example, this one on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Wedding-Flower-Girl-Bubble-Dress-Pageant-Party-Diamond-Pattern-Sz-6-FG179-/280959747889?pt=Girls_Wedding_Apparel&hash=item416a818731
    Good luck!
