Knee deep in red silk!

Have you ever seen so much red silk?
The bodice

Ready to attach

Thought I'd take a breather and show some progress of the dress. Today I will be attaching the bodice to the skirt,then starting on the lining and boning. The boning is a new adventure for me. It seems very straight forward,but we shall see what challenges it brings today. I should have the dress completed by Friday,minus the hem, since we have to buy some new shoes. Next week will be fun finding the jewelry and maybe a hair decoration.

  4. Once again I'll say what a brave seamtress you are. Hope your daughter is duly appreciative. This will be spectacular. Can't wait to see it completed and modeled on her. Keep us posted.
