We may have a bodice.
Here's the funny thing: I'm working on Jenna's Narnian costume first because I thought it would be easier than that Elsa dress. Because, you know, Elsa has a cape attached - without velcro or snaps - to the back yoke that also has a back zipper right in the middle of everything.
Hahahahahahahaha!
In what universe do reverse applique + scalloped peplum + full chemise-style under-lining translate to "easier than that Elsa dress"?
Sometimes my judgement is totally off. Thought I should share that with y'all, just in case you think my sewing decisions are always spot-on.
However, the first-muslin fit was absolutely perfect.
Which I'd take over an "easy dress" any day.
Onward, then! We must not surrender.
There are skirts and underskirts and sleeves and undersleeves to bring to life.
WOW! That is gorgeous already! Keep goin', girl!
ReplyDeleteHey, GG! I did zero sewing today. Kids home with me. So we made pretzel treats to deliver to the neighbors in Boo Bags. Ah well.
DeleteLooks great to me and during MEA weekend to boot. I'm working on something much simpler, but my toddler is in clingy mode today so not much is getting accomplished.
ReplyDeleteKarin: I've gotten zero sewing done during the waking hours today and yesterday. The kids and I went out and baked. Bah. So you're not the only one. :)
DeletePretzel treats or Narnia dresses come to life...
ReplyDeleteI really like the reverse applique.
I am so stuck on the Elsa dress thing here. I was really hoping you would finish yours up earlier so that I can copy you. ;) I just cannot decide how I want to go about this whole cape thing. So, likewise, I began a peacock costume today. Tick tock.
ReplyDeleteIt will all be worth it in the end, can't wait for the picture of the competed dress. Love the reverse applique.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and check almost every day for a new post. I just wanted to say that Halloween is my favorite time of year, because I love to see the costumes you make your girls.
