"Dance with me" she says.  What gentleman wouldn't want to dance with Ellowyne in this stunning new silk gown designed especially for her.  This lavish ball gown features fitted princess bodice and full flowing skirt with optional gathered ruffle at the hem and a back zipper closure. 

I used a scarlet red silk dupioni.  I suggest facing the bodice pieces with lightweight woven fusible interfacing.  The gathered ruffle at the hem was created using the same fabric and a ruffle foot.  Using a gathering foot creates perfect gathers. The PDF version prints on A4 and 8 1/2 x 14 legal size paper.
