The reason I am making Lucy's flowergirl dress, and not a dress for me is because my search is O.V.E.R. I found one that I could not bear to leave in the shop a moment longer! Hurrah! Though I'm afraid I can't share it here as it is to be a surprise for all. All I will say is that it is a Collette Dinnigan gown, and I promise to share photos in April.
What I can share here is a flowergirl dress I made for Lucy. I figured I might make more than one, to try different styles out but I'm actually happy with how this turned out. And I made the inside as pretty as the outside, which does matter. It's sewn in an off-white dupion silk, with a couple of hand cut flowers on the bodice. All up I would say there is close to 6m of fabric in this size 3 dress! The pretty tassel-front leather sandals are from Country Road, a sale bargain at around NZ$35 (and even cheaper now!). They hands-down beat a pair of Colors of California sandals I saw recently, seemingly identical in quality, selling for NZ$160.
