Just a little blurb here, the dress is not historical, made only for modern wear. But it's still cute and I like it, and thought you might want to see it :).
Stats: Around 4 yards of sheer red cotton, bought for a regency dress that never got made. Lined with sturdy white cotton sheets. 6 buttons. Draped. Side zipper.

| I thought I'd try and join the bandwagon of adding pretty fonts to photos. Yay or nay? What would ya'll think if I started doing this? |

| I feel very Edwardian for some reason.... |
 |
| cloth covered buttons |
 |
| there are three 1/4 inch tucks on each side of the bodice front, and on the skirt |
 |
| I lightened this photo so you could see the checks in the fabric that are lost in most of these photos. It really is a lovely fabric! |

| top stitching on the waistband |

| the box pleats |
These were the main pictures I used for inspiration. (via Pinterest)

| one of many box pleated frocks. I also box pleated because that's good for spoon body shapes, or so I read. Seems good to me :) |

That is such a pretty dress Theresa! You are so talented in the draping that you do to make your dresses! One of these days I am going to venture out and just do it myself!

Thank you Brigid! You really should try draping- its fun and pretty easy too. You're quite a talented seamstress yourself! :-)

Wow, I love the color! I also vote yea for the fonts. Way cool.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love bright red :) I think the fonts are cool too....It's just I've seen lots of other people using them and I don't want to be all "copy copy" if you know what I mean :P But I do like them :) I'll use them though i think.
