| This is dress #3. It is for Emily. The inner bodice does not drag like the photo is showing .. Bad photographer.ha The dress is really pretty in person. Emily loves it, and I am so proud. The rest of the story... It didn't go from photo #1 to photo #2 without some headaches.. I finished it up , on Thursday.. When Emily tried it on, the waist was too tight. SIGH!!! This girl has a 25 in waist, and I was trying so hard, to make sure it fit nicely, and not droopy. so, what did I have to do? Take the zipper back out [of this sheer, embroidered fabric..not fun] take satin waistband and lining out , and cut another one. So yesterday.was no fun!!! Today.. I am cutting out dress #4.. Just like this one, but in a coral color.. for an even smaller young lady.. SOON and Very soon... I will be back to making some spring clothes for ME... |
It's so pretty! What a job to have to unpick everything and reinstall the waistband...good job.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary.. It was a job.. But am thankful it is done.ha
DeleteNow. I am hoping the last dress will be a breeze.
It is beautiful! So sorry it turned out small . . . that would be so frustrating. But it turned out lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dianna. It was so frustrating.. I wanted to cry... But, she loves it , so that made me feel better.
Deleteoh my goodness...sheer perfection, my friend!!! xxoo, D
ReplyDeleteYou are too nice.. thank you so much.. Hugs.
DeleteSOOOOOO beautiful!! HUGS for all the snags along the way!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Stacy.. Appreciate the hug.. I will probably need it, I just cut out the last one.. [Just like this one but coral]. Well the lining fabric is so slippery, it keeps slipping off the table.. Will be fun sewing, I am sure.Ha
ReplyDeleteOh you poor thing, having to undo all that slippery material -so not fun. The dress does look so pretty now though - she will look so beautiful in it. YOu will be glad to have them all done :)
ReplyDeleteThank you ... It definitely was not fun picking out those fabrics.ha
DeleteBut she loves it, and that makes it all better.. I am working on the last Easter dress today.. Hope it goes smoother.. I will post photos of the girls in their dresses, after Easter when their mom's sends me photos.
Oh my goodness this is beautiful!!! And I know a lot of work, good job!

ReplyDeleteThank you Liz,..
DeleteThank you Robbin.. It has been a lot of work.. I have the last one almost complete.. Just pray it fits.ha
ReplyDeleteJudy, I'm sorry that you had problems with this dress. The good thing is Emily loves it and you had enough fabric to correct the problem.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dorothy, You are right, after seeing Emily's face...It was so worth it.. The second one, has went a lot smoother..
DeleteThe dress is lovely Judy Oh I know how you feel that is the hard part of sewing....when you need to fix and flimsy fabric too. Well done....It is beautiful and gorgeous colour!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.. I am almost finished with the other one.. Praying it fits her tiny waist.lol
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJudy, this dress is so beautiful! I am beyond impressed! You made such a complex dress and the fabric, yikes, lovely but so delicate. Be proud! Quite an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cathe. The girls are really happy with them, and that makes me happy. The fabric was really delicate, and a night mare to pick out... Don't want to do this again for a long time.ha
