I finally was able to start with my Susan Farewell dress last Saturday after problems with finding the right blue fabric. Because I did not find any, I decided to draw the pattern on it myself once I have done all the sewing. It WILL be a task and I have no idea where my mind was as I decided to do so, but, I know that at least then I will have an accurate pattern that looks as the original does! Sometimes I hate being such a perfectionist. But, I have already tried it out on a piece of fabric and it looks good.
So, anyway, this is how far I came with the sewing already
I am very, very proud of my work, I did not think I would make it when I started it, but I really like how it turned out. What I still have to do is to add the neckline to the underdress, finish the golden trim on the sleeves. For the underdress, I have to add the interfacing and work a bit on the form so it does not have these stupid wrinkles on my waist, I have to shorten both dresses and add the seam and I have to put the trim on it as well. And then.. going for the painting part.
Any way
I hope you guys like how it turned out so far.
