So this is the first self drafted actual gown I have ever made. I don't know if it can be called a gown if it is only knee-length, but I have been calling it a gown during the whole build process and it makes me feel fancy, so a gown it is. The fabric is a seafoam/mint green chiffon I picked up from Michael Levine's bulk warehouse this summer, so I have no idea about the composition. It feels better than the straight polyester chiffon I've felt before, but this is my first time working with chiffon at all so I'm really just guessing here. The (original) structure is made of linen, that I was planning on lining with a cheap synthetic lining that I already had. One of my goals for this dress was not to buy any new supplies except for thread, hence the less-than-perfect structure of linen. I wanted to make a completely backless dress with a knee-length skirt and a draped chiffon front.
