isabelladangeloThat whole "gotta work on Mom's dress" thing? I'll pull out the pattern and the fabric right after this post. I swear. Really.
So last night I just *had* to work on the fairy gown. Why? I have no idea. I ripped apart both bridesmaid's gowns and hand sewed the darker skirt to the lighter dress. I then tore the front of the dress up so you could see the layers. I still have no idea what to do with the bodice to the darker one. I've torn it to shreds. I think I could make a Juliet cap out of it or use part of it as the bottom of the darker skirt as an accent piece. I really don't know.
I have some trim that came with a bit of fabric I bought last year. It's only 16 inches but that's more than enough to cover the front of the fairy gown. I also have a lot of silk scraps from the 1840's gown attempt. Those "pink" looking things? Those are actually the silk scraps. I have to sew everything up and on but this is the idea so far...
All the before and current pictures are up on my Flickr account (cause I can access that from work and show my good bosses what I'm really working on) if anyone wants to see what this looked like before. Any other ideas for it? I have a pair of pink fairy wings so it will be a fairy gown. I really need some ideas for the back though. I was thinking of adding random bits of the silk scraps around the hem in the back...kind of a very odd looking trim.
