Its not pretty. It won't win any neatness prizes. I will never show a picture of the inside. But its done!!!!!
Will write more later, but here are some pictures.
The dress:
Close up of bodice to show the incredibly painful ruching(and cleavage, evidently)
The back (I might change this around, but this will work for the moment...)
Incredibly painful ironing and steaming to get the cool pleating on the dress...
So much work for such a tiny piece...
Finally, side by side:
I learned a lot in this project... Will detail all those in an upcoming post.

Sister, you look amazing. Really, really amazing!
I don't care what you say this is an awesome garment! You can see all of the work you put into it and it looks exactly like the original!
You GO Reethi!! You look awesome! You did a really great job on the dress. Don't chicken out of wearing it in public either...
You look great! This is a great knockoff and noone will be looking at the inside anyways =)
I think you look fabulous! Amazing job. You have more patience than me to do all that ruching. Whew!
