Look closely at the photo of DD's gown. The major sewing is done, but one thing is missing.My Daughter!
Getting her to try on anything I make for her is nearly impossible. Now I remember why I started this dress two months in advance. I want to know if this gown will need boning. I want to know if she still wants the sew-on jewels on the back straps. They need to be sewn on by hand -- individually! It may take us a month to find the right bra. I wish we could get her shoes this weekend; then I could hem the dress. But I know she will never agree to that!!! Why do things early when you can wait until the last minute!!! I want to finish this dress so I can get back to sewing for myself! Waaaaaaa!
Whew! Now that I got that off my chest, I feel better. Believe it or not, I really enjoy sewing for my daughter. And I don't expect her to wait around the house 24/7 until I finish the dress. She's 18 yrs old, after all. I'm lucky she lets me sew for her at all. She's a wonderful young lady and she was very pleased when she first saw the dress coming together.
But, I am eager to get back to sewing for myself.
I can't wait to see how your daughter looks in it. My daughter just will not let me sew for her so count yourself lucky.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is beautiful, but I want to see pics with her wearing it! LOL
