2012: That's a wrap folks...

It's that time of year, the time when I admit that I did not finish my goals.  It's okay though since there were several other non-sewing victories.

"walk away" dress in pink taffeta with black polka dot organza overlay

2013 goals:
obtain a more correct silhouette for work that is functional and doesn't knock things off the shelves.
- short hoopskirt "mini crini"
- 1860s brown dress after Mrs. Lewis William Tappar's dress

Pink and Poofy c 1950

Just had to share the good sights.  I'm not completely finished yet, but I am so very excited about the results.  This is my version of Butterick's "Walk Away" dress done in beetroot party taffeta with a black organza overlay.  The petticoat is white net with beetroot taffeta ribbon.  I'm planning to wear this for my rehearsal for the wedding.  Speaking of that, we ordered the tulle and silver satin for the edging.  Only 116 more days until THE DAY.
