Today we’re getting crafty on Milky Way TV!

I’m sure you’ve seen some (ok – a LOT!) of my maternity images using a tulle skirt with lace ‘top.’ Mamas love this outfit and it works beautifully in studio or outside (I may, or may not, have it in 6 different colours)

It’s fairly simple to make – and that’s what today’s episode is all about!

Supplies

For Tulle Skirt (no sew!)4 rolls of Tulle (I got the 6″ x 100 yards – in 10′ long lengths)pair of scissorselastic band  (~40″) or rope (would make it longer since there is no stretch)tape measure

For lace tube dress (one easy stitch!) – starts at 8:44Piece of stretch lace (can add a stretch jersey material underneath for more coverage)Scissors, tape measure + sewing machine (or you could handstitch) +  some pins* measure 30″ width, fold in half + stitch up the side (you can make various sizes to accommodate different sized clients – though depending on how stretchy your lace is, one dress really does fit lots of body type!)
