Arielle and Liana were asked to be junior bridesmaids in their brother's wedding in July. Rather than spend a fortune at a bridal shop for dresses, we found patterns that echo the design of the bridesmaids and fabric that will contrast with their dresses. The patterns are not difficult, but fitting is! Everything the girls make has to be altered.
Liana also wanted a cotton version of the dress to wear this summer. She chose a pink floral print that suits her perfectly. I made one bodice and realized it didn't fit well. Then after some adjustments, I made another out of the ugliest fabric we had on hand because I knew it would be tossed later. It still needed some tweaking, so I made another out of this same brown. Just right! So last night I made one more out of the pink flowers and it fits perfectly.
So I will complete this dress, making sure there are no fitting problems in the skirt part, and then, FINALLY, I will use the altered pattern to make the eggplant satin dress. By then, I will know this pattern inside and out! Hopefully it will go together quickly because I am also working on Arielle's dress.
