Dresses, maybe.
Made a cute dress: pictures soon (when it's sunny, methinks). Made a muslin for the wedding dress. Totally sucky. Rethinking dress entirely. This one had too much fabric up top. I don't want the red to overpower me instead of showing off my innate sauciness. I'm considering this dress, the one on the right. How would it look in red dupioni?! Sigh. I really should have a backup plan in case this sewing-my-wedding-dress thing goes south.

How about using the bodice of V8285 with your muslin?
I also think McCall's 5047 has a very flattering neckline.
I could also see you in V7762 quite easily with a v-neck and dropped to the floor.

I like the design on the right. It is a bit perkier than the original choice. A shot weave dupioni would be striking. Check out Silk Baron for some terrific reds and a reasonable price.

8285 is darling! I think I've found the wedding dress, but that would be wonderful either in dupioni or cotton lawn. I think I would roast in 7762, though. August + long sleeves = fainting Villain!
