It's been a year since I purchased this pattern (seems like yesterday).
It's sitting on the fabric purchased specifically for this project, loved the drape and weight but not so crazy about the color. Then you'll remember I changed it.
Really a big improvement.
Funny how a little thing like color can derail a project with so much potential.
So let me tell you about this dress, I saw a woman wearing the designer original and it was very cute.
I was wondering how closely the pattern actually matched the original (we shall see).
Today was spent marking the fabric and reading the instructions, and separating fabric pieces.
There are a lot of pieces to this dress, and it's lined so double the number. It's a project that had you had to pay attention to layout, a few key pieces that are cut once, and some pieces cut once from fabric, and twice in lining.
It was cut out at the beginning of the month, and I'm very happy that I kept the pattern pieces with the fabric.
Here's some progress on the dress, more tomorrow.

Looks rather complicated, but I'm sure that it will look stunning in the end.
What a fun project. It never occurs to me to dye fabric.
So far it's looking good but Vogue thwarted my efforts at getting it finished today.
