Yes friends, what you guess is right....this turned out as my daughter's Deepawali dress. When I brought this material before three months I didn't think  that it will be one among  her Deepawali dresses. I had a plan of finishing it before but could complete it only now. So what..... 

Better late than never.

It is the usual sleeveless pattern except the  tupatta. I tried to give the butterfly effect . It will more beautiful when  weared  around the neck.

Wait... wait... the patch work is not my creation, it is ready made

I want to add some hangings on the top but couldn't get matching beads or stones, so  I just finished it with silver color sequins and patches for the straps.

It is back open. we can knot it at the back...

At last this is what I not satisfied with..

the zipper

This is the first time I using zipper in the skirt, that too with lining. I want to make invisible zipper but it is clearly visible(that too the white color.. I didn't get the matching color). I think I can do better next time with this experience.

Just a look with out tupatta...

I am linking this to post the respective link up parties....

Some of you will be suprised if you come to know that, I stitched this dress from the material remained after stitching my churidhar. If we take some care while cutting the churidhar material, then we can use the remaining material to stitch frock or skirt or top for kids.(If you are too thin then, more material will be remaining). Lace or some stone work or embroidery can be used to make the dress look rich. I have stitched many dresses like this. I'll try to post them. While designing for kids always have the paper pattern, then the work will become more easier.

The pattern is very simple. I have just done a patch work in the top and added sequence.
