two floral dresses in the same color scheme. and similar decades i guess. kind of an updated
downton/
gatsby feel. on the left - basically a hack-and-slash resewing of a dress i grabbed during my
latest insane goodwill trip. on the right - a dress i made from 5 1/2 ridiculous yards of fabric. thats right. 16.5' feet of fabric strewn about my apartment. fighting a cat, breezes from the fan, incredible humidity, and impatience.
[apparently i got a wee bit burned today cos all but the first pic are from 2 days ago..]
i used another crazy cheap new look pattern. now...apparently my off-the-rack size 10/12 translates to a 16/18 in sewing patterns... except when there is an insane amount of extra ease... and then its way too large in the torso and shoulders. but a couple little shoulder pleats and two petticoats do wonders.
a close up of the zipper [getting better and better!] and one of 4 skirt pleats ..and my oh-so-flattering side view. idk what im looking at. checking if my crinolines are showing?
all serged inside seams and the back view
worn without petticoats underneath for a more.. everyday/work appropriate outfit.
