Wow!

Long time no see, bloggers! I know I haven't updated in a while - this semester has been really stressful and I haven't really had time for sewing.

One thing I did have time for was making my dress for this year's Performing Arts Formal! I started the dress less than twenty-four hours before the final, now THAT is Project Runway speed!



Beginning to drape the fabric.



Having problems with a puckering side seam at T-minus 20 hours






Experiments with the drape of the bodice at T-minus 10 hours.





Settling on a bodice drape at T-minus 4 hours.



Added straps, a zipper and doublestick tape about 30 minutes into the dance, good thing I don't mind arriving fashionably late!



It's backless! :O



Playing around with ways to drape and wear this so I don't flash the world!



Aaaaaand finished! Phew! There was a lot of scrambling at the last minute to find shoes, and a zipper, and something to use for straps, but I got it done and I rocked it out!

More coming soon, hopefully :)
