I had a fitting today for the very tall bridesmaid who's having the bronze dress... Remember I ordered the pattern from that very swish company in Oz? Well, because this lass is so tall, I did have to add quite a bit of length to the pattern. But other than that, I cut it out just as it came...
...and...
...it fits...
PERFECTLY!
YAY! YAY!
We need to reduce the width of the skirt at the back, and the length of the train, but this is a style alteration rather than a fitting problem. :)
I'm dead chuffed, and can only say that all concerned (bride, bridesmaid, AND dressmaker) are impressed with the look and quality of this toile and pattern. :)
Coo! Haven't had one this easy to fit in YEARS! ;) And they like the idea of the project going up on the web site, so you will all get to see this as a blow-by-blow dress diary. :)
Now I just need to find a bronze concealed zip and a supplier of bronze silk YLI thread...
Hehehehehehe... Another excuse to buy nice things! :)
