I had been sewing like a mad thing in the weeks leading up to this event in order to complete my frock.
The lovely lemon honey coloured rayon fabric was too nice for such a plain dress and as it was several sizes too big I decided to refashion it into a charming, frilly garden party frock.
Before.
After.
The sheer accent fabric I chose to use for the sleeves etc. turned out to be hell-ish to work with especially as I had planned on an embroidered scallop edge.
I used an iron tear-away stabiliser, which worked a treat, but I had to be very very very careful when tearing it off!
A sleeve while in progress.
I also made Mum a detachable collar and jabot to go with her blue polka dot dress, which completed effect I am quite pleased about!
And here it is!
Well that's all for now! A friend has some more pics, but has yet to send me copies, I will post them when I do so you can see all the lovely thing others were wearing too!
Toodle Pip!
M.
