My daughter wanted a new dress for the Bacchanal on Monday of War Week. I went shopping on Saturday with a friend and we found nothing that looked vaguely Romanesque enough so I purchased the gauze at Carolina Calico and trim at Calontir Trim. I sewed Saturday night, Sunday night and managed to finish it Monday morning for my daughter to wear. It is all handsewn. All the seams, edging and trim. Luckily I had the right color threads and some needles with me. I even made it to her specifications (no side boobage showing but be able to drop one side down if she wanted and short). Good top know I "can" but don't want to again :)
A happy girl on her way to the bacchanal
Me testing the "head hole"
Testing the armholes. I decided to sew it all the way up
The finished garment (that's a lot of handsewing...)
My idea for the buttons so that she could drop one side to show a boob as she had seen others do in previous years. She says she tried it and it worked.
