DRESS #1

I got to take my dress on a test run at last night's graduation ceremony, but not before going out in a monsoon-like rain storm to get there.  Thank God for the rain, we hadn't had any since April.  I managed to snap this picture in the dress after arriving back home -  me and the dress were not in the best of conditions at this point.

The red belt did make the dress pop, but the dress with the belt on me was a disaster so it was a no go.  The dress is a good fit, but didn't end up looking as I had envisioned, but it is wearable.



 
I've started my second dress and will be working hard at getting it finished today - hopefully.   Here's pictures of my muslin for that dress.



I'll post my progress tomorrow...

  1. I think you and the dress look pretty good to have been through a rain storm. Actually , you look really great. I love that dress. The second dress looks great, too. The rain we got here one day this week was welcomed!!! I'm hoping for more tonight.

  3. It's really too bad that red belt didn't work, but I'm glad the dress worked out so well for you. I like the muslin for the next one, too!
