I said I was going to do it, and I've done it. Mostly. I think she needs a shadow panel lining the front skirt.
I made life a little harder than it had to be by (1) using a vintage machine I've never sewn on before, with a (2) fabric that's very sheer and inclined to snag while I (3) added a lining to a dress with facings while (4) including the facings in the form of sewn-in interfacing which I've never worked with before. But, I think I've made it through the forest. Just in time for weather that's too cool for this ice-blue confection.
Well, it will be something to look forward to in spring!
I'm overwhelmed just reading all those steps, its looks beautiful though. Congratulations on making it through the forest!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. That neckline is just delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh, but the result surely made it worth the hassle, its lovely!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! It makes me want to go back in time and wear it to my bridal luncheon! I love that fabric, the color, the sweetness of it.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive.
Such a beautiful color - it's been my favorite this late Summer/Fall and I love the fabric! The ruched waist is lovely too : )
ReplyDeleteYou did give yourself quite the challenge, but it certainly looks worth the effort. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh, pretty! And congratulations on getting a gorgeous product despite some challenges. (I'm curious about what kind of vintage machine, too... I just got one myself and am thrilled with it, though it is taking some getting used to.)
ReplyDeleteIt is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
