Even though my mother made this for me, I watched/helped her put it together. The skirt went together without a problem, the bodice was easy to fit, sleeves worked beautifully – all in all, the basics of the dress are very easy and not all too time consuming. The ruffles, my mother did by hand, which was fairly simple but took a long time. Aside from the amount of time that one can put into this dress, it’s very easy and I would say you don’t have to be an experienced seamstress to make this lovely ballgown, just so long as you follow the instructions, which are very clear, in-depth and include helpful drawings along the way.

I only made the skirt from this pattern. It was easy, attractive, and the instructions were accurate.
