Tiffany Gown - Finished!

Officially , it was finished yestereday. Late. But when I went to take photos of it this morning, I realized that I had forgotten the back trim! So, after finishing the alterations I had already planned to get done today, I finished the trim at the back and took the photos.

I absolutely love this gown. Ofcourse, I usually end up falling in love with most, if not all of the gowns I make.

I am anxious to debute it at the May 1 Bridal Fashion Show at the new Morrow Event Center Facility in Morrow,Ga. I will also be debuting the 'Almost Contest" dress! I guess I really need to come up with a better name for it!

Day 5 - Tiffany Gown

Despite the day starting out with a series of minor catastrophes, the work went pretty well today.

It started with my getting up way too late! I am usually up and going by 7 or 7:30 at the latest. It must have been the thunderstorms, but I slept in til 9:00 a.m. this morning! Then my husband had a minor emergency when his truck died. While we were in the middle of that crisis, I got a call from a client, whose appointment I had forgotten! After all was said and done, I didn't get started on Tiffany til about 1:00 p.m.

I began today's work with attaching the lining and the foundation to the gown. Not difficult, but with all the little extras I add when doing this step, it took longer than it probably should have.

 I also added the zipper and finished the hem edge to prepare it for the hemming tomorrow.

Doesn't sound like I did much, does it? In my defense, I also had 4 appointments today.

All in all I was fairly satisfied with the days work. Tomorrow I will do the hem, as well as add some crinoline to the lining. I will also finish the shoulder wrap and add a little embellishment.

Then - TA-DA!! Finished!
