Don't worry about the inside alterations. I always say if someone is looking at my mistakes that are only perceptible to my eye, then they have no reason looking in that direction (such as my zipper in the butt area, or if they were to look inside the dress). Love your finished garment -- you wear it nicely.learningnewtrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15757038700924638755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67730370104633704.post-18215568931439069472011-07-07T22:16:42.876-04:002011-07-07T22:16:42.876-04:00Nice job on this and I love the hot pink color!

I should mention that I haven't hemmed it yet, so that will take some time. ( I wanted to make sure the bias of the skirt has stretched completely before hemming.) There aren't too many pieces, just the bodice front and bodice back which are self lined, the tie ends, and the skirt pieces. The most time consuming part was probably narrow hemming the tie ends. Definitely give it a shot! :]Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352160013222440581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67730370104633704.post-14726352118284977522011-07-03T16:06:23.517-04:002011-07-03T16:06:23.517-04:00Wow, beautiful dress, really love the fit and the ...Wow, beautiful dress, really love the fit and the bow in the back!

I'm just waiting to drop a few pounds because I don't think there is any way to hide the, ahem "back fat", in this dress. Who knew sewing could be such good weight loss motivation. :) Great job again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67730370104633704.post-89015550667403573082011-07-01T23:27:14.259-04:002011-07-01T23:27:14.259-04:00Stacie- It's not too personal, so no worries. ...Stacie- It's not too personal, so no worries. No, it doesn't really have support in the front, but you might be able to sew bra cups in between the outer fabric and the lining. if you're really careful about the placement. I went sans bra, lol. Another option might be to sew a strip of fabric across the back to cover your bra strap. :]Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352160013222440581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67730370104633704.post-39088398211213993652011-07-01T23:17:05.323-04:002011-07-01T23:17:05.323-04:00I love the dress!
