Tutorial: Fancy Nancy dress for Halloween or dress-up

September 24, by Anne Weaver. Leave a Comment

Fancy-Nancy-Dress-TutorialMarissa from Rae Gun Ramblings  shows how to make a little girl’s Fancy Nancy costume, whether for Halloween or just pretend dress-up.  And it IS a fancy costume, with rows and rows of ruffles on the skirt.  It uses a basic bodice and gathered skirt, so it’s really not a difficult dress to sew.  A fancy ribbon and bow goes around the waist.  And don’t forget fancy accessories, like a feather boa or a tiara.  You just can’t get enough fancy when you’re dressing up as Fancy Nancy!  Her post is part of the Handmade Costume Series at The Train To Crazy.  (Total sidenote here: I got a chance to hang out with Marissa at Sewing Summit last week.  She is even more delightful in person!)  Go to Rae Gun Ramblings for the Fancy Nancy dress tutorial.

I had a chance to meet Marisa at Sewing Summit last week.  She is just as delightful in person as she comes across on her blog.
