How to sew a dress with a hand needle

If I'm to actually give you the directives as to what and what you should do to make a dress, it'll take all day because a dress is a really complicated thing. But i CAN give you the step-to-step directives of this beautiful dress I made just two months ago. Guess what?........It was sewn by hand. It was a really tiring thing to do, but i said, hey, if my ancestors could sew by hand, then why can't I. And i did it. And it got 2nd place in the sewing competition i submitted it for. How cool is that? Anyway, that's me in the dress!
