Wanted to make a dress that was light and airy. Also wanted to make something that can be used by a Mori Girl.
Mori girl, Mori kei or Forest girl,is a style of fashion originating from Japan. It has derived from the lolita styles to something quite different that goes back to nature.

I did not use any pattern for the dress I made. Only took rough measurements so it would fit around my bust. The straps I adjusted during fitting and the length was decided by the amounts of fabric I had.The dress is made in cheese cloth, it's a light and airy cotton fabric, but it needs to be washed a couple of times to get rid of lints.
Long and hidden seems are sewn by machine. All edges and finishing touches are made by hand.
I'm really happy with the result it looks just like I wanted it to. Now I need to start wearing it!
