It turned out so well, I'm really happy with it. The boning gives the bodice shape and the shirring gives it a fabulous fit! And I recently purchased a dress (yes, I buy clothing too - don't even ask about my wardrobe) that had the perfect coloured pink belt! And I'm sure you recognise the necklace too - its the one that the talented Lucy Luxxe made for me for my Melbourne Cup outfit.
Here's the back:
The shirring is in the side back panels, and when I make this again, I'm going to have bigger shirred panels and a smaller 'zipper' panel in the back - which means more shirring hypnotherapy for me!
And finally - here I am with the bag that started it all... sparkly pineapples!!!!
Speaking of which, did you see what I found last week...
Yes, you are seeing correctly - that bag has SPARKLY FLAMINGOS ON IT!!!!!!! So the crazy make-dress-to-match-bag saga will continue! Stay tuned!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks Tippy - I've had such an overwhelming response to this dress :)
DeleteDid you have a vintage pattern for this lovely dress or did you make one yourself?
ReplyDeleteHi Soozi :) No I didn't have a pattern for this one, I made it up myself! And I was very happy that it worked out so well :)
