In the meantime, I'll be working on the cummerbund which is turning out to be the hardest part. I am simply not happy with the way it's looking, and I can't say I wasn't forewarned, as a reviewer on Pattern Review experienced the same thing. The gathers at the end are simply not enough to hold up the fabric in the middle, resulting in an extremely unsightly droopiness. Ugh! I need to figure out a fix that doesn't involve a lot of ripping out, but I fear that's my destiny. I just don't have any more of this fabric, and don't want to buy more. I tried to take a picture to show you, but pictures don't really convey the whole problem. Ah well, the dresses really turned out well.
e sooooooooo talented!

ReplyDeleteCute little dresses!
ReplyDeletewhat darling dresses!!
ReplyDeleteyou have done a tremendous job!!
These are so very pretty. The taffeta ruffle really makes a difference. It gives even more body to the dress. What about tacking the sash to the dress across the front. Or making gathered loops from scraps of the chiffon. It would be pretty to have two on the front, one on each side and maybe even two on the back. I need to go back and look at the original pattern. Or you could put snaps across the dress for the sash to attach to. Just thinking as I type. I'm sure you will work this out.
