Dress Finished (mostly)

A pretty belleI still need to take up the hem. And put the bows at the sleeves & the overskirt pleats. And make the corded petticoat to get more pouf in the skirts. But essentially, it's complete! Isn't it a great color on her? Her eyes go absolutely emerald when she wears this shade. (Not that I can get that to show in a picture; I always have to use the red-eye corrector, which just makes them look pinky-grey.)

Next will be my dress, which will be a lovely royal blue-purplish changeable taffeta, but a much plainer style, a single skirt with no flounces, a plain bodice, and short bell sleeves. With a little luck, I'll find a nice black lace to trim the neck & sleeves. :)

Lovely! She looks beautiful in it. That shade of green is perfect for her. You are quite a seamstress. We'll look forward to seeing you get started on your dress. Purple will be very attractive on you. Chelle
