I did continue to work on the VOT (Variation on a Theme dress) and I wanted to give you an update on the progress of the dress. Here it is so far:
I still need to:
*add lace to the lining hem and finish it.
*add rayon seam binding to the hem of the dress
*hem the dress
*make a covered button from the trim and add to the collar of the dress
I will not be wearing this dress to work tomorrow. However, I did sleep alot. I watched a few movies...loved "The Proposal" btw! And will finish this up next weekend.

Construction details will follow when I've finished the dress! And as always...more later!

Looking good! I really love that collar too.
Great dress, the collar is fabulous.
Great dress! But I have to wonder- don't you have a serger? It'd be both more efficient and stronger to use it to finish hems before you hand-sew them. Even if you use it to attach lace :-).
this is beautiful, love that collar
The collar is GORGEOUS . . . really makes the dress very special! You're going to look fabulous wearing it!
This looks great, Carolyn, and I love your collar treatment. That button will be perfect.

The collar treatment is really wonderful. Looking forward to seeing you in this.

What a pretty neckline! I can't wait to see it on you.
The boucle fabric is to die for!!!! and using it for that dress is a perfect pairing.
Pretty! Me too, love the collar action. Very Michelle O.
I've just cut a dress with a similar collar. I love it! Can't wait to see you wearing this.
