Making clothes for my daughters, of their designs.
Making a beautiful dress out of fabric I had on hand. No purchases were made for this!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Measure twice. Do your calculations twice.
Make sure you know what tier belongs to what measurement.
Make sure you know what way the fabric print will face and cut it on the right side!
