Months ago I agreed to make a reproduction of a client's mother's 1940's wedding dress. I even completed a muslin of it before being sidelined. Now that I'm feeling almost human again, I finished it a week ago. Thank you for your patience, Margaret! The original dress was likely rayon but we agreed to use a silk charmeuse instead. The scalloped neckline was suggested using a small trim.
Now that I have all my required sewing done, I'll be trying out some of the new patterns I've drawn in the last few months. Drafting patterns was something I could still do on days when I could barely get off the couch. I keep a wooden lap desk, rulers, mechanical pencils and a roll of exam table paper nearby. And erasers. Lots of erasers. 😄 There are at least a dozen new designs. I made one up this week and will try to get pics done tomorrow. It's so cute! And sci-fi related. I'll explain tomorrow.
This is a pic of the original dress.
