I didn't have much lead time on this project. I was asked on the 9th if I could make her a performance dress, we discussed style, and drew sketches, then shopped for fabric on the 11th. I pre-washed everything, merged three patterns and drafted a different neckline, made a bodice toile, had a fitting on the 16th, made some adjustments then cut the fabric and started sewing. Marked the hem on the 23rd. Machine stitched the satin hem, hand sewed the chiffon hem. The finished dress was delivered Thursday the 27th, DGD flew off to New York on Saturday.
Whew.
I have pictures of the dress on a dress form, I'll have to wait for pictures of it on her until she returns (unless she sends me images wearing it while she's gone).
DGD arrived on the Purchase College campus this morning, she appears today on the NYO web site, middle person upper left image:
