Have you noticed those beautiful modern baladi dress designs coming out in recent years?
They are fun and loose, like the traditional galabeya style.
But they also have exciting modern elements like the diagonally cut tops, or funky sleeves, or fancy necklines etc.
And they make such great costuming options for all ages AND all skill levels!
Not to mention, these dresses give coverage and confidence!
But those designs do not come in many size/length options.
There are very few pre-made items that fit me. How about you?
And they are challenging to re-create.
They look simple at first... but then you realize you need to create draping in right places and shape them well.. otherwise you can end up with a grandma's nightgown (which can be cute, but is probably not what you're going for!)
Also, my big thing about baladi dress designs is the shape of the hem. If a dress is cut in a rectangle shape, the dress is going to be fitted around the hips and the bottom of the dress pools in the center, only to accentuate the width of your hips... which many of us don't want.
So I tested and experimented with various design options, so we can always make our own dresses that fit different sizes and create beautiful silhouettes. and put all my findings in one course!
So YOU can skip all the research and avoid wasting fabric ...and start creating these exciting dresses that you LOVE and fit YOUR size!

"I've really been wanting a baladi dress, but I can't find one small enough, so I'm excited to just make one!"
-a Sparkly Belly reader
This style features a gorgeous cowl neck and flowy butterfly sleeves. It offers more coverage and an option to add a bit more flare and drama to the back side of the dress!
*Please note that instructions on bra making and accessories are NOT included. We'll focus on the dresses in this course.
It's a pretty straight forward, beginner-friendly project. Once the pattern is made, you can make the whole dress in 1-2 days :) I love it when I get the satisfaction of completing a project quickly like this!
But of course, a simple project doesn't mean a boring design.... at least not for this dress! The asymmetrical design, the draped top, the eye-catching sleeve details.... It's packed with fun elements used by designers!
Get excited to sport this beauty at your next stage and be super fun, charming and a little sassy, and impress your audience! :)
