Audrey's dress - better pics!

I had to get the recipient to give me some pics as in my haste to finish it i forgot to take some myself! so here is the lovely Audrey's dress in full:



the main body is a lovely soft rayon blend woven, with a blend of brown and grey threads to give it a lovely sheen. the yoke is a vintage rayon sateen scarf, cut on the corner to keep the pattern going around the yoke. and some lovely green vintage buttons to finish it off.
thankfully the dress was well received!

folded sleeve dress-complete!

So after unpicking and re-cutting, fusing and re-sewing the neckband, i forgot i needed to add gape darts to the pattern to take out the excess. gah! too lazy to do it all over a third time, i just darted the band in six places and left it at that. i'll fix the pattern up so there won't be any seam lines on the final product, but damn, i'm not bothering if it's really just a trial dress for me to wear.
And i spent over an hour trying to find a spot in our house with the right lighting to take a bloody pic! so i apologise for the crappiness of them, and the fact that you can see the kitchen sink in the background, but by then i was over it! clearly i'm going to have to set up a nice corner that has some good lighting at some stage.




and the little man lookin too cool for school:

Folded sleeve dress on the machine

Just a little left to go till it's done. Of course I was lazy and
didn't fuse the neck facing and it stretched and so now I need to
unpick it and redo it. Damn. Oh well lesson learned.
The fabric is just sub- some stash bits and pieces but the plaid will
be nice for winter I think and the chocolate works well with either
reds or jades which are my Dave colours so I'll definately wear it
which is good. Big pics once it's done- hopefully tonight or tomorrow
if kingston lets me!
