Early American Dress for Polite Society Tea Party
Here's a shot of the dress that I made for Jessica's Dress-up Birthday Tea Party. This is the pattern, so I'll have to upload a shot when she's dressed up later this week. It turned out really beautiful, and since the pattern was on sale for .99 at Hancock Fabrics and I got the material on clearance at $2.00/ yard, the whole dress cost less than $30 including the lace sleeves and trim. She's going to wear it for a Mother/Daughter Polite Society Tea Party this weekend also. Such fun! She is so excited! I made a size 10/12 and had Grandma take it in to a size 8 to fit her now. Later we can let it out. Heaven knows, I don't want to make another one anytime soon! Thanks to Grandma for the hem and alterations. She is such a whiz when hand-sewing is called for.
Underneath, we're using an old wire hoop skirt to get the fullness. I promise to upload a picture soon.

I am looking to make these dresses for my bridal party for my wedding. I am a beginner at the sewing machine so can you tell me how hard it is to make this dress?
