So I’ve never played this game, but a lot of my friends have. I always liked the artwork and thought this would be a fun dress to sew.<\/p>\n

One part I regret is that I didn’t make a full circle dress. I gathered one very long piece, thinking that that would suffice. Now I think it would have been easier to sew together two long pieces to make a square, then cut out the waist in the center of a circle. Oh well.<\/p>\n

I also tried to make a petticoat. Those are hard! I ended up adapting the storebought one from my wedding dress.<\/p>\n

There are two sets of planetary symbols I’ve seen used on Alice’s apron. The symbols I used (Jupiter and Neptune) are the ones from the video game.<\/p>\n
