The Dress!

So the dress finally got finished, and in time for the wedding. I was so excited!!
Here are some shots of pattern cutting:



And some shots of Mimi sewing (I wasn't able to do some of the stuff). And her beautiful pattern matching that she was oh-so-proud of.





Now, some pictures of the wedding. :)

The bridal party, pre-wedding with our fun mimosas.


And me, being ultra hot.



And the fun guy I sang with at the wedding (who I met two days prior).



All in all, the dress was fantastic. I'm definitely going to keep the pattern and try it again. The pattern also works for a tunic shirt that I so want to make. Mimi is going to give me one of her old machines so that I can get started in earnest with my sewing. Woohoo!!

That's it for this one.

A New Dress

I'll be in a wedding a week from Saturday, and I don't have a dress. I couldn't find one that I really liked enough to buy, so Mimi and I are making one. :) Woooooo.

Here is the outside of the patter, M5882.



This is the dress we're doing.



Below are the fabrics that we're using:
The daisies go on top; the yellow is for the waistline and tie, and the bottom section; the stripes are for the big section of the skirt. I'M SO EXCITED!! Mimi isn't too fond of the three patterned fabrics, but I think it'll look fantastic.



We're cutting out the pattern tonight and the fabrics tomorrow. I will keep you posted!
