This went together fast!
I bought the fabric for this last weekend, and started on it during the week. I had a little bit of hang-up with the upper portion, my first pattern tweaks didn’t work out and had to revisit and re-cut them.
Here’s the satin parts pinned onto the dressform, from Thursday, I think?
And here it is with all the chiffon parts added and everything put together, as of last night:
I’m hoping that pressing it will help with some of the wrinkled look through the bodice; if not, it’s back to the drawing board.
I’ve also decided I’m going to go back and add a panel in the side seams of the skirt to widen it juuuust a little bit. While I’m actually really liking the way it looks on me now, hers is a little more flared past the hips than this ended up being.
The funny thing is, I think I was subconsciously making this:
I originally wanted that as my wedding dress, and this ended up being fairly similar looking, haha.
In other news, I also picked up fabric for one of Chase’s costumes this past weekend. I’m hoping to get it knocked out in the next two weeks!
So pretty!
