Bridesmaidy
Not quite finished, but I decided to post a progress shot to prove that yes, I have actually sewn something! I hesitated to post the photo because it is so uninspiring. The dress, mostly due to the fabulous fabric, is much prettier. Oh, that dupioni is shiny in all the right places. It does have a bit of the ol' bridesmaid to it and, were I to be having such things (I'm not) this would be a pretty good pattern. Not the same strapless that I've been seeing in all the mags.
I put the dress together yesterday. It is this Butterick pattern and very easy to sew. The fabric does unravel like the dickens, so I did French seams. Now, I'm not exactly sure if I did the textbook version, but I think they're great. I'll get a detail shot when it's all done.
Ok back to searching for a photographer and avoiding doing my work.
:D

The picture is hard to see - but by the pattern - it looks beautiful! Sounds like you're having fun planning the wedding. Perhaps a new job?? :)

That is a terribly cute pattern.

I like that! I also hate the strapless. WITH A PASSION. :/

Me? A wedding planner? And deal with crazy ladies all day long?! No thanks! All the vendors I have contacted have been very surprised when I say, "I'm sure that will be great" and don't fuss over anything (well, yet anyhow). I've even been surprising myself how laid back I've been! Heh.
