I happened to see this Carolina Herrea Dahlia dress and fell in love with the print and color and style. A quick run to the fabric store ( Hobby Lobby)and I found this gorgeous yellow linen gauze fabric(sold out) that I thought would be perfect.

For the pattern, I figured I would use the Rose Cafe Bustier Pattern again. After looking through patterns, I found a McCall M7937 top pattern that was the perfect fit for the top.

 

 

I later saw the Dolce and Gabbana floral print dress and that was closer to the look I was going for. The dress had layered tiers but because I didn’t have much fabric I ended up just making one tier.

I documented most my process here on my Youtube Video.

Here are some pictures of my final dress.
