I have yet to try this and it looks super easy.

Wow, I admire anyone clever enough to make their own patterns!

Darn that's cute! It's a little low cut in the back (and the front) for me- I'm wondering if I could make the straps go down the back as well. (I don't see why not.) I could also add a little panel in the front. How neat!

Makes me think I ought to get my sewing machine fixed.

I don't have a sewing machine. I am going to try when I have the time to sew the dress by hand. It looks easy enough.

Couldn't agree more. That was my first thought too.

This is the fabric I am going to sew it with http://m253.photobucket.com/albumvi... Uploads/IMG-20120604-00083.jpg.html?newest=1 However since I am sewing the dress without a sewing machine it will be a while before I get the dress made. I am so excited!
