Just a quick post about cutting out the fabric.
While I waited for the ordered satin, silk organza and embroidered tulle to arrive, I cut out the lining, purchased at Stitch Sew Shop.
Full disclosure: I work at Stitch Sew Shop in Alexandria, Virginia, but I don't get any compensation if you click through to the site.
Once the other fabric arrived, I headed to Stitch on one of my days off and proceeded to cut out the rest.
It's a big job, with lots of yardage and large skirt pieces. I couldn't have cut it out at home. Although I'm
an employee with access to Stitch's large cutting tables, anyone can rent the workspace for $14 an hour. Just call ahead to find out available hours and make a reservation. With Covid, we are limiting it to only 2 using the workspace at one time. Also, see above disclosure.
I don't remember exactly, but I think I cut the satin and organza on one day, and the tulle on another.
All told, with the 4 different fabrics I would estimate that it took me at least 8 to 10 hours to cut out this dress.
