Using a similar fabric to my Black Tea Dress, I started on a tea dr= ess for my sister. She is big on the pink and girly look, so I wanted somet= hing a little funky/punky meets girlie girl.
Instead of doing a roll hem at the botto= m, I chain stitched a pleat around the bottom of the dress. I did this so I= could shorten the fabric and still preserve the horizontal stripe pattern = at the bottom that I liked. I then sewed up the back to create the basic dr= ess.
I put in two belt loops to hold the plai= d ribbon.
I added a white eyelet lace fringe to th= e top for extra girlie cuteness. Also this is supposed to add an extra band= of elastic to keep her ladies under wraps.
Finally, I made to straps by attaching a= shear floral ribbon to a wide hot pink satin ribbon. I put button hole the= ribbons and they attache to the inside of the dress so that they can be re= moved for laundry, or for a different set of straps.
Oh and the two beaded lady bugs are just= pins. I figured if she wore it with a shrunken cardigan or something, she = could use the pins to accessorize it with the dress. They were just funny.<= /span>
