Sorry for the lack of posting recently. I realize it’s been about two weeks now – BAD BLOGGER! BAD BLOGGER!!
The dress is giving me some grief. Not enough to make it a wadder, mind you, but enough that I’ve decided to re-cut the bodice and make it princess seamed instead. Today I cut out a muslin for the princess seam version, and it fits well, but I think I need to add a little more length in the center front. So tomorrow I will cut one more muslin version, put the finishing touches on it, then I’m going to cut my fabric out and finish the sucker. I need to re-do a couple of the pleats on the front skirt so they line up with the princess seams, but that should be a pretty simple task, just scooting them over towards the center by 3/8″ (or was it 3/16″? Eh, it will be obvious once I rip out the existing pleats).
I’m hoping to have it done by the end of the week to wear to a church dinner on Sunday night (assuming the weather’s improved by then, of course). Right now I’m listening to the pouring rain outside. The don’t call it Mud Season for nothing, you know!
