We Have a Winner!
After making three muslins of different dresses yesterday and one today (minus the skirt) I have found the dress. It is Vogue 2134 afterall!
Two of yesterday's muslins were complete disasters, but the last one turned out pretty well. I'm gonna find a zipper and slap a ruffle on it and call it a win. Not a wedding win, but a win nonetheless. Last night I was so exhausted by these decisions that I went to be at 9:30. Felt better this morning and so I decided to try the bodice of 2134. I was freaked out yesterday by the instructions and the weird extra foundation layer they put in it. I trudged onwards, deleted the foundation, and found a bodice that fits pretty darn well and doesn't look like a bridesmaid dress! Yay!
I picked up the (10 yards!) of Black Cherry silk from the cleaners the other day, so it is ready to go. Today?! Well, maybe not today.
Ok I need some lunch and tea. Hopefully pix will follow this afternoon.
Also, my adviser liked my chapters! Hooray! Next one isn't due until August!

That dress should look gorgeous in the red silk; I look forward to seeing the wedding pics eventually. :)

I agree with Sarah, I think that dress is going to be lovely in the red silk!
