@cynthia.a7340 I did it for my mother's day dress the day/night before. 8 hours from pattern draft to completion. I purchased 4 yards so I had enough to do one layer for my ruffles- 6 inches, and lesser width after serge and hem before making ruffles. Overall, the dress turned out well! I'll be altering my bodoce at the waist because I ended to dropping waistline at the sides (easy fix just not enough time). Thanks again for tutorial!
