What to do about a dress for my son's wedding. Shop or Sew? I am leaning towards sew.
I really like the vintage look of New Look 6799. I like both B and C. I have traced and fitted the bodice portion to my KG2 (duct tape body double). Cut out a muslin. Now to just sew the bodice muslin together. I think I will do a muslin of both skirt bottoms, just so I can figure out which one I prefer.
Not sure what fabric.... it will depend on the skirt I decide to go with...
The bride's colors are fall colors, deep purple, browns, oranges and yellows. I am thinking either a deep chocolate brown swishy fabric with the wider skirt or a mixture of these colors in a brocade perhaps for the slim skirt? who knows, I will have to go stare at the fabric available..
Later!
.... Sew :)
ReplyDeleteI have this pattern too. I bought it because I liked the fabric/print on the cover & I liked view E over C.
I think your picks are a great choice for your son's wedding.
