Magam June Part 1 : Pleated Hem Batik Dress

Hi everyone... I mentioned in my facebook post that I will be making four garments for June Magam with theme " Stashbuster" and here is my first garment, I was planning to make the dress with a hole at neckline and pleated hem but the hole didn't turn out well. So I have to cover the hole with a bib and sew eight buttons for accessory. I will explain more about the unsuccessful hole in the below post. Materials: I bought this batik in Kuta - Bali almost two years ago. The fabric already cut in a big rectangle with 1.8 yards long finished with rolled hemmed in both sides. I think the fabric is ready for beach cover or even tablecloth :) The reason why I bought it because the length is enough to make a simple dress and the print is so beautiful. I especially love both end of the fabrics, Beside the fabric, I also need invisible zipper, fusible tape, 9 small buttons, elastic for button loop, fusible interfacing, 1/2'' self-made bias tape from same fab
