The Dress



Honestly - I don't love the photos of these dress.
Honestly - I'm not loving much these days. 
But I do love this dress - it's full and twirly and was perfect to wear to a wedding.


This dress is completely different than the dress I had in mind when I bought the fabric.
This dress is a mash-up of patterns, some drawing to get what I wanted.
The bodice is a modified Elisalex and the skirt is from Butterick 5930.
I plan to do a 'behind the scenes' post to show you close ups of the front neckline. 
The bodice of this dress is lined and I hand picked the zipper. 


How about a last photo of JB and I all cleaned up and ready to go to a wedding.

  1. It's a lovely dress and I understand about the pics but maybe it's just the time of the year. Y'know that in between stage where everything is a little unsettled that's making you not like much!

  4. I love this dress, Gmarie! And that last photo is too cute. The v-neck back is just such a great detail. I know what you mean about not loving much these days, I've been feeling pretty negative myself lately. Here's hoping things start looking up for both of us!

  5. The dress looks very nice on you, Gmarie. And the last one is such a happy picture.I can understand your comment about not loving much these days. I have been struggling the last couple of weeks, too. Mixture of so much, parents, kids, work, business, etc. I hope you feel better soon, I just wanted you to know you are not alone with that comment.
