Dresses Almost Finished!

Here are the nearly completed junior bridesmaids' dresses.  Fitting issues have been resolved!  We also had a zipper problem.  Our local Joann's had no zippers to match this eggplant color.  I tried the Coats and Clark website.  Nothing.  One of the 4-H teachers told me of a New York on-line store that has zippers of every color.  The cost?  59 cents! Of course, shipping had to be added in, but still, it was worth having perfectly matched zippers.  The website is http://www.sewtrue.com/.  Great service too.  We had our order in 5 days.

The dresses are not yet hemmed and I am also going to add sashes.

Easter Dress

Before she began cutting out her formal dress, Liana completed a cotton version.  She finished it just in time for Easter and wore it to church.  She had a little black sweater that worked well with the purple of the dress.  We try to get a three-sister picture every Easter.  Arielle is a little casual in her sneakers and pants, but that is because she served breakfast for four hours that morning!

Liana had to alter this dress for her tiny frame.  She did a great job and it fits perfectly.
