THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN MOVED FROM WORDPRESS TO THIS NEW PUBLIC BLOG. I HAVE ONLY EDITED THE TEXT A LITTLE AND MOVED PHOTOS AROUND. THE INFORMATION IS THE SAME. THIS BEGINS THE DIARY OF MY FIRST REN GOWN.
The main body of the dress is finished except for strap placement and hem. I finished the sleeves this morning. They are made from 4 separate pieces, stitched at 5 points. Then a black glass bead was sew over the stitching. No photos of patterns available. It was very hit or miss in the making. Even now that I wear them, I'm not entirely pleased with the fit.
There is some hand sewing to do and I may add beads and adornments. I will attempt to wear it in September at MRF. It has been a fun project. When I look at it, I can hardly believe I made it. Mostly I drafted my own pattern pieces. The ones I used pre-made, I altered. It has strip lacing and I may make eyelets instead sometime in the future.
I don't have a dress form at this point. The dress is hanging crooked, neccessary to keep it on the hanger, the sleeves will be handsewen together. Enjoy.
