Hey y’all!

My best friend is getting married and I’m her maid of honor! So because she’s awesome she let us pick our own dresses! As long as its gray haha so I decided to do a ruffle skirt and I found this one online but they did have them anymore!

It was REALLY easy with my ruffle foot!! If you don’t have a ruffle foot you HAVE to get one they are AMAZING! I got mine at hancocks!
