Nearly everything that could go wrong with this dress went wrong. The ruffles at the bottom were added because the dress was too short (it still is, a little bit). I know they look a little milkmaid, but I think it will be okay for the dances I attend. One shoulder has a ruffle because it was seriously distorted from all the darts and alterations I had to make to the bustline. The neckline came out all right even though I just chalked a line and cut it lower. Tomorrow I'll try it out for a dance we're scheduled to attend. We were also supposed to go to an American Legion dance tonight but both of us were a little too tired, so I was able to finish it up while watching reruns of Project Runway to give me a much needed impetus to "make it work!"

I think this qualifies for the Design Outside the Lines refrain: "Even better!"
You definitely made it work. I love the ruffles. Let us know how it behaved during the dance. By the way, I also love watching Project Runway reruns while I'm cutting and sewing. Great inspiration.
