The pink dress is finished!

[frualeydis]

And here are some pictures. Actually ,when I tried it on I noticed that I need to move two hooks and eyes and cut off an inch on each side of the bolero front opening because it was too big. But other than that it's really, finally finished. I'm already planning to fix the puckering at the front of the skirt and adding all the trimming of course but I have too many other things to sew. Apart from starting on the inner tent for my pavillion again i now have a deadline for my flemish 16th century gown since I plan to wear it on our king and queen's anniversary (as king and queen, thy're not a couple)party in March.

And another thing; my mother just finished changing the fabric on one of our armchairs that really was in a sorry state.

Oh Eva, it really is awfully *pink* isn't it.

I hope the party goes as well as your gown turned out.

The chintz really is too pink. I might buy some satin in a softer shade of pink later and redo the bodice.
But I like pink a lot.

just adorable eva!

and i think i've actually made just that dress 10 years ago too! was a commission work, a bridal dress for a shop (or it might have been #20A, can't remember. made both of them during the same period). although i never managed to talk the bride into wearing period corset and underwear, why i didn't succeed in achieving those pretty lines you have got!
but bride appeared VERY rich and dress could be made in heavy silk atlas covered with a beautiful pattern laced cotton net and trimmed with period embroidered net lace... unfortunately i was never given those promised photos :(

you'll be having the most beutiful party. a whole bunch of people in that fashion, have fun!!!
