I'm going to be making Judy's wedding dress for her November 20th wedding. A friend of Judy's is making a custom pattern thats a knock off of a RTW dress that doesn't fit a tall women. I'm getting nervous to get it so I can get started. I don't want to have to rush rush rush the dress. I've been working on somethings for her honeymoon. I've basted Kwik Sew 3760 tried it with all ivory fabric and then ivory/black print at waistband and upper neckband but she hated it. She wants black or navy at waistband and collarband but everything I've tried has bleed when I tested it. So on the look out for some black or navy that won't bleed onto the ivory double knit. Here's a pic- basted and not pressed version. Been in a Halloween mood so made a couple of wall hangings. Have to make a Joker costume for Dylan, does anyone know of a costume pattern with a large boy or small mans that is a knee length jacket? I don't want a detailed real suit, this will be a one time wear so don't want to put to much work into it.
I love the black on the ivory dress. I guess everyone has their own taste, though. Good luck finding what she wants.
ReplyDeleteI'd just look at the costume section of the pattern books and try to find something close.
Or, a boys jacket pattern and simplify it and cut it longer. You wouldn't need to line it or make pockets, etc. You could even cut the lapel and collar as one piece already attached to the jacket and just turn them back if your fabric is the same on both sides. Sometimes I pin pattern pieces together if I want to do this.
I love the wall hanging, Mom! Too, too cute.
ReplyDeleteI need to make my pillows.
I will look around for something you can use for Dill Bill's joker jacket.
Burda magazines have some great wedding spreads including simple, non traditional clothing. Personally I loved the black and ivory.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is very beautiful.
