I made a thing

I didn't have quite enough fabric to cut the dress panels as one piece. Had to do a waist seam - which I eventually raised up to a bust-line seam.

(Not the bra. That’s just there because my new dressform is shy.)

I made a kinda hippie looking silver velvet skirt. Well I got it cut out and pinned together anyway.
It’s actually a white velvet with some silver flecking on the top. It’s pretty in person. Not that it matters – this is only an under-dress. I only had enough of this silver-y satin for the skirt portion. The upper portion of the dress will be white knit, since it won’t be seen anyway. The lower skirt portion may be visible which is why I wanted it to be pretty.

Hoping tonight to get all the panels together and upper section cut out.
