I hate to give you a "it depends&...Hi Maggie! I hate to give you a "it depends" answer, but there are quite a few factors in pricing. Stores, materials, and dress type are all variables. To give you a ballpark, most of my dresses take 2 yards of fabric and cost about $5 / yard. A zipper is usually around $1.50 so net cost is ~$12 for most dresses I've made.<br /><br />For the gown here, I got an AMAZING deal on the fabric (I think around $2.50/yd) so this cost ~$12 as well. As a newbie, I would recommend starting on a cotton or cotton like fabric. It won't wiggle around on you or slip during sewing / cutting. It's also relatively economical to purchase.

I'd like to learn to sew my own dresses but I just wonder about the cost (especially since as a newbie, i'm bound to go through lots of fabric).<br /><br />Maggie<br />lovestylehappiness.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12501005217448203946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818227597672589935.post-76860074216670328782013-09-05T13:10:37.056-07:002013-09-05T13:10:37.056-07:00Looking forward to see you model it.
