Making a Marilyn Monroe Dress - For under £10!

Happy Halloween!!!! Here is the journey of me attempting to draft and sew a Marilyn Monroe dress using duchess satin.
Let me know what you think and if you would like me to try and recreate another famous dress!
Love Elle x

I absolutely LOVED this video and the dress. I am ALWAYS this demented when I'm making everything even when I have weeks to get something finished (mainly because I leave everything to the last minute 😆😆😆)

Fun Fact: It was actually a white version of the Pink dress she wore in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. She just had the guy who made the Pink dress use the same pattern. Also she didn't have him add the big bow in the back of the white version.
