Sewing progress on the Candy Dress

[frualeydis]

The work on the striped 40s dress, which for obvious reasons shall henceforth be known as "the Candy Dress" (new tag added) is progressing nicely. The bodice is partly assembled and I've only had to do some minor adjustments to my drafted pattern (taking in the shoulders, my shoulders aren't very wide, which is a tricky combination with an F-sized bust). As you can see in the photo my fabric has a strong pink stripe instead of red.




The event I'm making the dress for is a burlesque club which takes place approximately once every two months here in Göteborg. I haven't been before, because it always collided with something else, but a lot of my friends go and I'm really looking forward to it. I have also convinced one of the gay guys at work to come along. The club is on the 22nd of May, which is good since I need to make some nice new 40s inspired undies too, especially with the two-way zipper in the dress ;)

I'm a bit dissappointed that we miss this Tip the Velvet this time, but it should be a riot! Your dress look splendid so far, you'll be gorgeous!
