How to Ruin a Perfectly Good Duvet Cover and Make an Impractical Dress

This project wasn't quite as straight forward as I hoped it would be. After the first failed bodice I wasn't terribly diligent about filming the process of making it. So this is less of an instructional video, and more of a "join me on a stupid sewing misadventure" type video, but I still think it has some educational value...maybe...sort of ~shrugs~ 
Despite the fit being a bit off, the dye job a bit shoddy, and the fabric less than ideal, I do think I did a rather neat job on some of the finishing: hemming, binding, etc. So not a total loss.

On another note: I tried talking to the camera. It was very awkward, hopefully I can learn to be slightly less awkward in the future. No promises.
