All other crafting seems to have been abandoned, as I just concentrate on "the dress". I am really pleased with how it has turned out so far. I added a really pretty but quite simple trim, and this time the skirt is lined and it has a bow at the back.
The top section is organza, and the main purple sections quite a simple cotton, but it seems to have quite a nice silky sheen in these photos.
Doing my practice version really did help, mainly with my confidence.
So the only thing left to do is the hem. We are still having a heated debate over this. I think my daughter is coming round to the idea of keeping it fairly long, as at this try on she liked how it felt so swishy. Sorry, but you will probably have to see some more photos of the actual event.
looks beautifully made - great job!

That dress is amazing! And I think definitely floor length or tea length. It is a beautiful color and I love the detail at the top!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, I love the shade of purple and the trim is a perfect finishing touch
ReplyDeleteit looks lovely and fitted and i definitely think the longer length will be gorgeous! well done you!
ReplyDeleteShe looks very regal. If she wants it a bit shorter, I think it would look great tea length, but even at this longer length it looks beautiful. Thanks for coming to visit my blog, I couldn't reply to you via email so this is the reason why I am acknowledging your comment here.
ReplyDeleteLovely dress, and the trim detail is just the perfect addition! Well done!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter looks beautiful - hope she has a lovely time.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! I love the style of it with the organza top. I have a little girl here that would love a similar princess dress (and for her the longer the dress the better :))
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress and the model. The color is just perfect on her. I like how the long skirt looks elegant!
