OMG I need to make this dress. I spent the entire sectionals part of the episode not paying attention to the songs, but trying to figure out how to make the dress.
Another pic that really shows it:
At first I thought it was just a gathered and pleated black organza overlay, but it looks like the fabric is an ombre or border print (sort of, since it's not really a print). So I'm thinking start with a sheer white silk and dye it. Baste at top and bottom, then pull tight and tie it off. This will make sure the dye line is pretty straight. Bag and tie off the ends, then dip dye. I can't decide if it should be an organza or if that's too stiff. Maybe a really thin China silk? A chiffon could work too...
