Trash Bag Dress Project Update #2

The Trash Bag Dress is coming along really well, especially considering I’m not using a pattern.  I have some alterations left to do to the bodice, some final touches and of course I still have the dress’s accessories to make.  Here’s some photos of how the dress is looking as of right now.

I decided to put a cotton liner in the dress to keep the plastic from sticking to her skin. Here you can see I have sewn the cotton to the inside of the bodice.

This is the skirt lining. I used the same cotton material that I used on the bodice but I also added a layer of netting just to give it some extra poof ability.
These are the skirt layers after theyve been attached together.

This is what the skirt layers look like standing up. Although the plastic becomes pliable once it has been ironed it is still plenty strong and can stand up all by itself. LOL

This is what the dress currently looks like. As you can see it is ill fitting due to my daughter trying it on with clothes on underneath and the fact that I have some alterations to do once Im finished. Theres still lots to do and I cant wait to see what it looks like when Im done.
