The Flower Girl Tries On The Dress

Karen · 5 Comments

On the way to Becky’s wedding, I met my sister at a gas station just off I-20 to drop off the Flower Girl Dress that I made for my niece’s wedding.  My niece, Stefanie, is getting married in June.  They were going to the bridal shop for their dress fittings, and they wanted to have the flower girl try on her dress, too.

She loved her dress.

It fits her pretty good considering I never saw her while I was making it.

They'll have it hemmed and finish the straps about 2 weeks before the wedding.

Linda, my sister, said Adayla loved her dressy dress. They will have it hemmed and finish the straps a couple of weeks before the wedding. She’ll be such a cute flower girl.

Just Had To Brag!

Karen · 7 Comments

FabGrandpa and I drove from Alabama to Georgia yesterday for Becky’s wedding tomorrow. On the way, we met my sister and handed off the flower girl dress. My niece and her bridesmaids and the flower girl were getting together at David’s Bridal for their alteration fittings today. This is what my sister posted on her Facebook Wall tonight:

“The Flower Girl dress that my Sister made for Adayla is gorgeous AND the Seamstress at David’s Bridal said that my Sister did an EXCELLENT job on the dress…said the hidden zipper was awesome…Karen…you have been lifted above even David’s Bridal’s Seamstresses….you should be proud….”

Girl! I am bustin at the seams proud of that!

The Flower Girl Dress Is Powerless Over Me!

Karen · 19 Comments

After months of it watching me cower in the corner, I finally made my move, and have emerged victorious over the Flower Girl Dress. While it thought it would leave me in a huddled mess, I stood up to the challenge of it’s incredible super powers. The Slick Fabric:

Slick Slippery Fabric

The dastardly Invisible Zipper:

The Stiff Fabric Sash:

The Full Lining:

The defeated enemy:

And again:

The Front

I am glad I took the challenge of making this dress. I learned some new techniques, and figured out how to put a lining in a dress when none is called for in the pattern. It was interesting, and fun. I still have some “finger work” left to do, but it is basically finished. I can’t hem it because the Flower Girl lives 250 miles from me, but I hate hemming anyway. We’ll have to wait until June to see a picture of Adayla wearing it. Stefanie and Adam are getting married on June 18. Next, I get to make the Sash For The Bride.
