today i finally finished with this pile of cotton candy-looking material! five dresses down...this is what they look like!

this jenny packham dress is here to get shortened a couple of inches. it has pretty bands of silver beads around the midriff and on the straps. the rest of the dress is very silky and cut on the bias, so it would be very form-fitting. i think it would look amazing on the bride!

this dress is another one for madina vadache i finished today...and it is not a 'bubble' dress! this one is one that we used to make quite often, but not so much since we started doing those bouffant ones! (the bouffant dresses are named 'grace') i had forgotten how easy these go together...only two hours and it was done! these are called 'catherine', and they are very nice for a summer wedding, i think! they are lightly lined, but still have enough support to make them fit nicely without feeling heavy.

so for tomorrow, i get to load up a pile of dresses and deliver them, and pick up more!

The pink and blue dresses especially are gorgeous! Will they be at the same wedding?

hi ee! no, all the pink will be at one wedding, but the blue one is a sample to be sent to a bridal shop back east that will carry madina's line.

2 HOURS?!

You must really know what you're doing.

I'm a terrible seamstress. I can embellish till my eyes fall out, but sew a shirt, and I'm a mess.

shula ~ i only have to sew it together, though...someone else gets the 'fun' part of cutting out all the pieces (i hate that part!) and all i do is sew! the other bouffant ones take about 3 hours, with all the pleats and gathering. and i have done so many, (probably about a couple hundred dresses now!) i feel like i can almost do them in my sleep!
