CHAPTER 4 TURNED IN
Good news!! I turned in my last chapter! Now, just a conclusion and some editing and I'll be all set to defend! Whenever they decide that will be. Hrmm. Oh well. On to the dresses!
I'm trying to find a pattern for a dress to wear to Taryn's wedding. Black, cocktail were her only requirements. I'm going to get some black dupioni and see what I can do. Not sure of the look I'm going for yet, so I thought I'd try a few different styles. This is a Butterick pattern (4443) from a long time ago. I tried to make the neck sit flatter and made it significantly shorter than last time. Oranges!
Hilary Duff McCall's pattern 5512. I had already made this one and then I saw a dress from this pattern being sold in a boutique. In black duipioni, no less. No changes to the original pattern! Also, the gathers were weird. I would have redone it, but that's just me. (snark!)
I am going to start working with knits. This is from the Built by Wendy Home Stretch book. I just cut out a small, ditched the waistband, and sewed it up fast! It is a prototype for a dress I'm going to make for a friend in exchange for two lovely paintings!
I just used some cheapy knit that I bought a long long time ago and it still came out pretty well. Comfy! I have an order of knits/sweatshirt material on the way and then I will move up to Modal! MODAL! That is the softest stuff in the worlds! I just love it and can't wait to make all my own tshirts! Heh. Like that'll happen. Maybe one day...
