Idea file: Light up princess dress

Kataryna from Sew Chibi has done it again. She’s pushed her sewing skills and followed her imagination to make another knock-your-socks-off fabulous dress for her daughter. I wonder if she’ll adopt me? This time it’s a princess dress that lights up. It’s breathtaking! The full tulle skirt has a string of LED lights threaded through tunnels stitched in an under layer. When she turns on the lights, the dress literally glows – especially in a darkened room. The bodice is made from a sparkle linen with a sweetheart neck. She shows more photos of the dress and writes about the construction in her guest post in the Seasonal Sewing series at So Sew Easy. Go to So Sew Easy to read about Kat’s light up princess dress.
