It's really shiny in the sunlight and keep in mind the dummy is not wearing her bra.
Front, with a wide boat neck.
Side. The side seams doesn't match up because I used one big strip of fabric and The Ruffler to gather the skirt. Oh well, who will notice but me?
The back has a V neck.
I put in the zipper by hand, and the puckers are much less obvious in reality. I can't even envision how ugly it would have been if I had tried it on the machine!!
I attached shiny green ribbon and hemmed it by hand; it took one episode of Rome.
I am going to add bra strap carriers, like on the yellow dress. With the wide neck, it will be very beneficial. The Fray Check is drying right now, but I will try to finish them today. Next, I am making a skirt.
Your birthday dress is so pretty and I love the color! I can't wait to see a photo of you wearing it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! I love the color and you did a great job on the zipper.
