Ridiculously simple elven gown

I had sheer fabric and nice trim that I wanted to use, so I made this really simple elven dress years ago. Basically it's one large piece of fabric sewn into a tube and gathered at the top, edged with trim and straps added. Beneath the bust the fabric is gathered at the front half and covered with sewn-on trim which is just tied at the back where the fabric is left loose. The fabric is see-through, so some kind of undergarment is required, and the seam is overlong and just the unsewn selvedge, all of which makes it perfectly soft and flowing.

Thanks to Roberto Fusconi for this perfect shot!
