This is a (wedding?) dress for Moxie Teenz Arizona.
It's basically four rectangles of fabric--silver body, silver ruffle on the bottom, lace overdress, and a silver binding to hem the lace. The silver is some sort of shiny polyester lining fabric--I think it's the scraps left over from a cloak lining. (The binding really should have been on the bias--maybe it all should have been on the bias, but I didn't have much silver fabric to work with.)
The dress stays on due to a piece of elastic at the top--unfortunately, the gathering there creates an unattractive stiff pouf, so I'll need to replace the elastic with darts or some-such.
I don't know what the ribbon scarf's doing. It's not attached to the dress or anything. Maybe Arizona was cold.
After the dress is finished, I figure I'll measure all the parts and make it into a proper pattern to post up here.
Below: the fixed ~1780's skirt and half-finished blouse.
