Peek-A-Boo Tulle

You asked for the tutorial so here it is.
Supplies Needed:
Dress or skirt with linig
Tulle
Scissors or rotary cutter
Thread
Sewing machine
Here is the dress I chose.
Measure the width of the bottom of the lining.
Mine is 24 1/2" long on the front and another 24 1/2" long on the back equalling 49"
Double that number and that's how long your tulle needs to be. So mine needs to be 98" long total.
Cut strips of tulle 6" wide and enough to equal the length you need.
Lay the strips one on top of the other.
Fold the tulle in half so it is 3" wide.
Gather the tulle.
Pin the tulle to the bottom of the lining.
When you get to the end of a strip of tulle just overlap the begining of the next strip.
Sew.
It really does make a difference!!!!
Here is the before.
Don't forget about the GIVEAWAY!!!!

Wow, that totally makes a difference. Nice work! I think I'll have to wait till I have a girl to try that one!
I love this idea! I'm designing my baby girl's Christening gown right now... I may do this! Thanks!
Thank you! I just added it to a dress I re-fashioned. It looks so much nicer now. You can check it out here http://craftedbymama.blogspot.com if you like.
