Girl M. wanted to be Marilyn Monroe for Halloween. I thought that this would be a quick dress and I already had a pattern. I'm glad I made a muslin for the dress because it needed a lot of help.

I used a thrifted sheet for the muslin. The fabric was a little too soft for a good dress and of course I didn't have one piece of white fabric to make this dress. I'll just have to go shopping!

I bought and ivory faille fabric from Fabric Mart Fabrics for her final dress. The fabric has a beautiful hand to it and it sewed it beautifully. I still needed to work on the crossover halter showing a little too much skin.
