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!

ReplyDeleteGreat dress, the collar is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteGreat 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 :-).
