| Sew a little, rip a little, sew a little rip a little... |
We had a busy Saturday of dress making. We changed the design yet again, and needed to make another test dress to see how this would all fit together.
The test dress fabric was more similar to the real dress, but still not quite the same. We are down to only three patterns to meld together, so I guess we're making progress!
I feel we're getting close to a final product, but the back will be changing yet again!

| Cutting out the pieces. |
It's amazing how much material goes into a wedding dress. It's good to have so many tables to be able to lay everything out.

| Lengthening the pattern. |
Funny story... After returning from lunch, we found out we'd sewn the dress together forgetting two whole pattern pieces! We cut them apart, and sewed the missing pieces in.
The dress was already big without them!
Now we need to figure out the back.

| Creating the pattern for the keyhole back |
Having the actual bride in attendance for the dress making
was also an improvement. We still brought her mini-me with us and she
came in handy for display purposes and tailoring the back.

| Still working out the back details. | |
 |
| Ruching |
Ruching a panel on the front adds interest and seems easier than I'd expected.

| What to do in the back? |
