I designed these two flowergirl dresses to the bride’s (my cousin’s) specifications for an end of August wedding. The empire bodice is gathered dupioni and the circle skirt is five layers of tulle. The dress is fully lined and includes an invisible zipper closure in the back. The larger dress required 21 yards of tulle!!
