I am missing sewing, but everything is packed up now so I have been trying to keep up with all your blogs instead - it gives me my sewing fix even though I have not had much time to add any intelligent (or unintelligent, like usual, for that matter) comments. I'll be in the serviced apartments for 2-3 months while the new place is being renovated and I am taking some sewing stuff with me. It was hard deciding what to take, in the end I've packed my machine, serger, a selection of summery fabrics, this years BWOF's and essential notions - we'll see how I do.
Scarily small pile
Anyway you don't want to hear all that, you want to see a dress right?
Close up of the hem treatment.
This took ages just pinning everything on the dressform and then stitching the pleats in place. I experimented with gathering, like the childrens dresses but the effect was too girly, I am happy with how it turned out.
Now I just have to make sure that 2 weeks staying with my dad and his cheese toastie maker won't make the dress magically shrink!

The dress is gorgeous! I absolutely love the fabric and colour, plus the overall style and the hem treatment.
Good luck with the temporary move. Deciding what to take and not take must be hard.
The dress is so pretty, the color is gorgeous. Also, the hem treatment is lovely.
Good luck with the move.
Fantastic, both the colour and the fitted bodice and the hem treatment!

Beautiful! Enjoy your trip and good luck with the temp stay.
These dresses all together are going to make one stunning wedding party! Enjoy the wedding and your vacation.
BTW, just because that's all the fabric you packed for your short stay in the temporary apartment doesn't mean it can't be augmented with a few finds! *wicked smile*
Very cool hem treatment! Enjoy the trip.
