Snapped Elastic

I made this dress at the end of summer last year. It was on show at Knit lab and due the fact that it sat in the window(the sun/warmth)

That elastics in the straps weakened and started to snap, they needed to be the strongest part as believe me this is a weighty dress.

I didn't make them strong enough the 1st go, so a little trial and error was needed. Because of course your everyday dress, is not constructed from rubber bands.


So finally I have gotten around to fixing the straps I strengthened the original with tripling the bands that I had originally used.
I think that I would also like to re work the skirt and some how give it a puff ball finish as that is my favourite type of skirt finish;-)
