A New Dress

I'm placing a bid to make this dress on Etsy... This is what I have on hand for fabric and design ideas.

This is the fabric. It has gold and some purple in it. The gold squares are about dime size.

Here is the design. Ignore the pink ribbon. I will "bind" the waist with a piece of elastic sewn inside a casing. The skirt will end up being fuller because I will be able to gather it better.
