Princess gown: AFTER
This is the finished product of the dress. The center piece was cut out. The zipper was removed from the back. The skirt was cut off and reattached with more gathers. A lace center bodice piece was added with boning. Tight snap strips became the front opening to the dress. Short puffed sleeves were made of mock satin (the same material as the new underskirt. Petticoats finished it off . . . Overall, a huge project, but it was a fun experiment in heavy alterations!

This dress is sooo pretty! Can you make me one like it?
We'd love to make another one. Unfortunately, this was a remade dress (take the original gown and remake it into a new one). It was very time intensive and would cost quite a lot more to make it from scratch. It's doable, but depends on the size and materials wanted and how much pattern drafting involved. I would estimate it would cost in the $150-250 range.
