Wedding Dress Update + A Peplum Top and A Smart Skirt

Its been one busy week for me. I was able to put in some time on the wedding project...stitched the top and bottom pieces, attached pockets and did a fitting with the bride (which was a good thing because she happens to have lost a few inches off her waistline - better now than when the dress has been fully completed). As a precaution I am going to shave off an extra inch as well...based on the experience we had during the traditional marriage period, she does tend to lose weight alot I sure wish my weight came off that easily.

Here are a couple of construction pictures.




I also worked on and completed another project. A smart skirt and a matching peplum top.


It was a pretty straight forward style so I decided to add some pizzazz  by piping the sleeves and attaching a couple of covered buttons.




The skirt was as straight to the point as they come.

 Slit and Lining detail


I added metallic zippers to both pieces in keeping with the current trend.


And for a little fun detail for the top, I did a play of fabrics - alternating the self fabric with the matching lining. This gave me an idea for a top for myself which I'll hopefully find some time in the middle of my workload to make.

Anyways, I finished this up on Wednesday morning and commenced work on a slightly similar project of a skirt and a peplum top. But this is for a much younger lady so I get  to play around a bit more.

 Creating and cutting out patterns

Selecting notions. I plan on a little belt to cinch in the waist and turn-up sleeves with buttons.

I can't wait to finish this batch of clothes and get back to the wedding project.

Until later,

Much Love.
