It’s been pretty difficult pinning down my daughter for fittings so my progress has been slow to say the least I had a major meltdown – literally – one night while fusing my dress pieces together. I failed to realize that the trash bags being of different weight and thickness would need different temperatures and I almost ruined the bodice. Lucky for me it was salvagable.
I’m hoping to have the zipper put in tonight and the layers of the skirt gathered. Once I have those 2 things accomplished the rest is easy peasy!
Here’s a few photos of where I”m at with the dress. So far NO DUCT TAPE! yay for me.

I’m aware this is an older article, but I am making a trash bag dress myself and I was wondering how you fused the bags. The article on this subject isn’t there anymore, yahoo says the page was deleted. Since it was, can you tell me how you fused them and then attached the zipper? Thanks! The dress you made looked so cute so I wanted to use the same method.
Thank you both. I can’t wait for it to be finished. I’m tired of looking at the mess I”m making in my living room. lol
Very cute! Can’t wait to see the finished project.
