The finished pink dress

[frualeydis]

I couldn't wait any longer, but just had to try on the finished pink dress. I didn't do it properly though: wrong smock, no farthingale and no kirtle. One reason for this is that I still have one kilo of "conference-weight" to lose and all these things add bulk, the other reason is that hubby isn't home and the kirtle is back-laced.
Anyway, pink and black is lovely, I told you so:







Oh yeah, it needs ironing.


I will always be grateful to clothsprogs for finding the satin and helping me get it.

It's pink! :)
It looks lovely right now, can't wait to see it with all the right underpinnings and other stuff.
Will you be adding black bands to the sleeves too?

I totally second this - adding some black bands to the sleeves would pull it together BEAUTIFULLY. :)

That was my plan, but the dress on the painting I used for inspiration doesn't have them, so maybe I'll wait until I have presented the outfit for my master's test.

Despite the wrong undergarmanets and wrinkles, I just want to coo over the dres's prettiness.

I can understand why you couldn't wait;) I think there are more than a few of us impatient to see it worn all complete as well:)

Lovely.
