I made this dress from Ikea quilt covers and was inspired by the beautiful dresses by the brand Alemais. I can't believe I pulled this off!

ikea bed spread details:
white one - JÄTTELILJA https://ingka.page.link/rsRSpmNQ2YhFn...
navy one - NÄSSELKLOCKA https://ingka.page.link/DMcLJhqgMCYXu...

patterns used:
Simplicity 8014 for the bodice and neck band/collar
Vogue V9299 for the sleeves
Vogue V8184 for the skirt reference piece - but mostly this was just a gathered rectangle skirt - https://www.carbonchic.com.au/2014/12...
