(Please excuse my hair. These pictures were taken after a full day of cleaning.) This dress went together very quickly. Granted, I was skipping some steps (like the facings, which I'm going to switch out on the finished dress for a full lining, and I couldn't figure out how to put the zipper in, so I just pinned it until I can talk with my instructor about it), but it only took me a little over an hour to put this beauty together. I really like how it fits, although the muslin is a bit big in the chest (I was expecting this). I really like the tuck detailing on the front of the bodice and darts on the back.
The pleats at the waist add are a nice touch as well. Sadly, this dress doesn't photograph as nicely as it looks in person. I'm guessing this is because the color of muslin looks so blah on me. Trust me, it's very flattering!
I'll be working through the minor fitting issues in this weeks sewing class, and hopefully sewing up the real deal next weekend!
very cute! can't wait to see the real fabric you've chosen.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a great dress. It's also on my "to do" list so I'll be keeping my eyes open for your finished product.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! Hopefully the finished product won't be too difficult to put together. The lining fabric that I picked up is a little slippery!
ReplyDeleteThe muslin looks great! I've been thinking about making this one, too, and I think you've convinced me! Can't wait to see the finished dress!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ginger! It really was surprisingly easy to put together. I highly recommend!
ReplyDeleteHmm... looks like I've got another project to add to the queue! ;)
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I also like your dance moves in the photos.
