I did get the zip in and finish my dress!
I love the V back.
Although the dress looks blue in the above photos,
it is more a jade green. Hard to get a true colour in the photo.
Actually I didn't
even know there was such a thing and I found it a
bit awkward sewing it in
properly. I met with the Chit Chat Crafters
last week and sought some
advice from my dressmaker friend Sally.
She showed me how to hand stitch
the zip and before I knew it,
the zip went in perfectly! Sally also fitted the dress
for me but it didn't even need any alteration so I must have
got my measurements right and made the right size.
I'm so happy with how it turned out.
In fact, I think I'm going to buy some more fabric
and make myself another one!
Can't believe I'm saying that. LOL!
I did see some lovely rose fabric last time
I was at Spotlight that would be nice for a dress.
That’s a lovely style dress and it really suits you. Welldone with the fitting.

ReplyDeleteWell done girl! It looks beautiful especially with the gorgeous model.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on the dress especially putting in the zip. They always seem to present a problem for many of us.
ReplyDeleteYour dress looks lovely and I’m surprised you aren’t making the next one in Tilda fabrics!
