I will apologize now because it is late and I am preparing to go back to work tomorrow so there are no photos of me wearing the dress. No construction information either...I will post those details tomorrow evening.
The grey dress does have a jacket (Vogue 7944). The fabric and lining for the jacket are cut out and laying in pieces on the cutting table. I started to work on the jacket but since I'm now into enjoying the journey, I didn't rush it. It will be finished when it is finished! *smile*
Tomorrow I promise pics of me wearing the new gray dress...it has a few special features...and I will share them with you then.
Since I live in Alaska I have a couple of tips for staying warm when wearing a dress. Have you every tried silk long johns? They are wonderful! You can get them at places like REI or online at Winter Silks, where they have them in different styles and lengths. Boots hide long johns and thick socks. Tights work too, just not as well.

Well you continue to amaze me. Look forward to seeing this one in all its glory about lunch time tomorrow ;))
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty pieces!!
ReplyDeleteI have a question though.. Are you lining the dresses with lining fabric or are you taking what could be say blouse material and using it as a more upscale lining? (Did that make sense??)
