As I mentioned in my previous Sew For Victory! post, I am working on two dresses for this challenge. Number two is going to be an evening dress/ formal dress. I need a just-in-case-a-formal-occasion-comes-up-dress. With a soldier husband, formal events are sometimes just around the corner and I always like to have a dress to pull out for unexpected occasions. This will be it.
I had no pattern to butcher and frankenstein to create this, so I tried draping it myself.
and then in fabric:
I decided for a nice rich green satin.
Little sneak peak. I think this is going to be a winner!!!!
Hope you are all making great progress on your sewing project, part of the challenge or not.
I am behind on my blouse project. Ugh!! I'm just glad it's a blouse and not a dress. So it won't take a lot of time to finish!

There is still time. I'm sure you'll be fine. So exited for everyone's projects.
DeleteIt looks super so far!
ReplyDeleteMy trousers are being held for the arrival of my new sewing machine, in the meantime, I am enjoying everyone else's posts!
I hope your machine has arrive and makes your trouser project a breeze to sew.
DeleteI can't wait to see more of your dress! It's looking great so far. I love that you're making a dress to wear to a potential fancy party with your soldier husband. That scenario just fits right in with Sew For Victory!
ReplyDeleteI always love going down the vintage route for those occasions. There are not too many opportunities for proper evening attire otherwise :-(
DeleteI think it's going to be a winner too! That lovely green will work so well with your colouring!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that, when I saw the green. It's such a red head colour.
DeleteIt looks wonderful thus far. Your talent in draping your own dress design is impressive...good for you!
ReplyDeleteI hope it turns out alright in the end. So far, so good.... ;-)
