I’m trying, I’m trying……

I am going as fast as I can to try and get this dress in the mail in the next day or two. I am binding each of the panels with velvet that I am making myself. I’m not in love with the whole process. I’ll write more about that in a future post….

I do think the colors really pop and the black velvet frames everything in a perfect manner. Always a silver lining. I have to put the whole thing together, then make a few accessories. Just finished creating the patch that will attach the cape. Have to get the size right so it does not completely obscure the beautiful yoke on the back.

Here are a few of the in progress pics I took and just have not had the time to put up here.

All of the interfacing and stabilizer had to be cut away on these pieces or they made unattractive bumps and lines on the panel.

Each panel is individually numbered. They are not identical due to the angle they must be attached to the skirt. So they must be kept track of….thus my little stickers with their numbers!! Same for the underpanels. Each one is unique in the shape of it’s point at the bottom.

Sorry I can’t say more….just need the time to work. I’ll come back and fill in some details once the dress is in the mail!!!
