On August 1st I celebrated my 17th birthday. I wore a seersucker dress my sister helped me make this summer considering I am NOT good at sewing. We started this project at the beginning of the summer and I knew I wanted to wear it on my b-day so we had a timeline. This project all began when I saw this Lauren James seersucker dress online. However I did not want to spend over $100 dollars on a dress you can only wear in the summer. Sewing the dress was a lot of work but much less money. Maybe one day I will invest in a seersucker dress but for now I love the one I made :)

About the dress
The pattern was McCall's M6890 and we used C. When we made the dress we did not add the lace front bib. We made a fabric belts to tie around the dress and we shorted the dress to be above the knees. The seersucker fabric and pattern were found at Hobby Lobby.
