I have received pictures of beautiful Ellie in her dance costume, consisting of dress and jacket. It was lots of hard work as I had no previous experience with Irish dancing. After lots of research on the internet I still had to work out myself, how to make knife pleats on the skirt to stand out in the right way.                  This experience has definitely improved my technical  skills. Thank you Ellie for your patience.         

      

Beautiful bias cut dress is made of silk satin crepe over layered with georgette. Front and back  petals of the skirt are cut on bias, but sides are cut on grain. 

The jacket is made of sandwashed silk crepe, lined with silk satin crepe. The brown edging  is made of silk velvet.

The headpiece is georgette band decorated with velvet flower on the side embellished with some rhinestone details and hanging fabric petals. The centre has rhinestone appliqué.
