29th March 2012: why!? I made a pattern to fit the dress form lovely..Why then was it off by miles when I got my wife to test wear it. ¬_¬ So after pulling it apart and sewing extra bits on everywhere it looks like a patchwork quilt. But finally it fits. (why did you let me down o dress form!) I hope to goodness the skirt part goes a lot easier.

26th March 2012: start Pattern making under way.


Got some nice quality Red velvet for the dress. Totally lucked out trying to find some Gold fabric for a contrasting front panel though. So the plan is to go with a sash belt idea instead. I did find Gold trim ..after lots of searching. So dress under way...
