"The objective of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape and find oneself in the lines of the madmen." - Marcus Aurelius

Not Another Lolita!

Oh yes. My inspiration:


Mostly, I just wanted that sweetheart neckline and the split in the front that shows the petticoat underneath. I attempted another dress with that neckline first, which didn't go so well but was valuable practice nonetheless.





Pattern: Butterick 6352
Fabric: Printed cotton

I used the same pattern as the previous dresses, but finagled a sweetheart neckline, cut a triangle out of the front skirt, and added a waist-tie. I have since learned that simple is best, and to sew the waist tie as a part of the dress instead of onto the dress afterwards.
