It’s been pretty difficult pinning down my daughter for fittings so my progress has been slow to say the least I had a major meltdown – literally – one night while fusing my dress pieces together. I failed to realize that the trash bags being of different weight and thickness would need different temperatures and I almost ruined the bodice. Lucky for me it was salvagable.
I’m hoping to have the zipper put in tonight and the layers of the skirt gathered. Once I have those 2 things accomplished the rest is easy peasy!
Here’s a few photos of where I”m at with the dress. So far NO DUCT TAPE! yay for me.
This is the beginning stages of the front of the bodice. At this point it is just a blank shell.
This is the back of the bodice. As you can see I have lots of adjustments to make. The zipper is pinned in right now but it fits perfectly and looks nice I think. Now to make the rest of back of the bodice fit as well as the zipper. Plus this makes it the dress capable of being worn more than once.
I think these skirt layers are cute. They haven't been gathered or fused together yet but once I get them all floofed up and attached to the bodice they are gonna rock.
Here's a view of the skirt layers spread out on my craft/camping table. You can see how they are haphazardly laid on top of each other but you get the gist of what it looks like. I got lots of gathering to do.
