I first cut out the pieces for this dress over a year ago. And then I did nothing with them. But when Stephanie proposed a Williamsburg trip, I figured it was time to sew this up.
It’s nearly finished now (which is good, because I need it this Saturday); I just have to finish some interior seams. Everything is hand sewn except the long skirt seams.
I still dragged my feet on sewing, even after I had committed to finishing it. Less than two weeks ago, I only had some of the bodice together.
After the bodice had been constructed, lined, and boning placed in the center front
Skirt pleated and attached. This was a pain to get to lay flat, but after a couple tries I got it.
I like that shade of yellow! It looks quite nice on you. May I ask what pattern you used, or did you draft it yourself?
Thank you! Several years ago I started from the Period Impressions Polonaise pattern for the first Anglaise gown I made, but by now it’s pretty different from that original pattern.
Thank you for the information! I like how the bodice isn’t too many pieces. =) I will look into that pattern.
You are welcome!
