At it again- sewing a Solo Dress

It's time to tackle another H U G E sewing project and make another Irish Solo competition dress.
Teagan has designed her new desired dress, and I think it's a reasonable undertaking for me. I want to document the cost, so I can decide if making dresses to sell is worth my supply and time investment.
