Tent Dress Making
Post By Lucca. 18/09/11, 12:26 pm
Okay, I'm doing a Tent Dress for my Duchess cosplay from Are you Alice and there doesn't seem to be any patterns anywhere. I've never made a tent dress before and would like to ask if anyone had any tips and advice for patterns and construction please.

thanks ;D

um, i would just get a kids dress patern and size it up. or you could cut some pattern peices to the shape. then you could just decorate it. for the shape you could use a petticoat. i hope you find this useful.

Here's one (it's out of print, but recently so it might still be in stock at your local sewing store)

Tent dresses are really easy since they just flare out after the upper chest.

It's fairly simple, for the bottom of the dress sew a channel and put some wiring that has been coiled in a circle for a while and that will help it to flare out and give the wavy edge
