I brought this as a kit many months back and it arrived all the way from Texas, USA! While my good intentions were to have it made by Christmas, it somehow was put on the back burner while I finished sewing for everybody else!
So many thanks to Carolyn for her 12 month challenge and forcing me to make something for myself, hence out came the kit and away we went!
I am so in love with my new dress and you can be assured that it will have lots of wear! I made a belt for it, which gives more shape to the waistline, or likewise can be tied under the bustline too (which is how a few of my dresses are styled.)
Gorgeous fabric, gorgeous dress :)
The Socialite - no belt ...
Belted at the waist (above) and bust (below)
Stay tuned for Jaida's matching number, pictures coming soon ....
