cheryl Every time I plan to start working on my dress, something always comes up. It also doesn’t help that I have to work weekends all month until fashion week. But HOPEFULLY I’ll be able to at least start it this coming Friday while Joe is at a basketball game. Seriously, I am so ready to start! And here’s proof!
Look what arrived in the mail before the holidays. My brand new professional dressform! (decorated with flower brooches from Anthropologie and Jcrew). I had enough room in the dress budget to splurge on this discounted Ebay item.

I also purchased some muslin for draping the pattern, along with various other trimmings that will all eventually become a part of the dress’s inner workings – I plan to make some sort of built in bra/bodice thingy.

Now I just have to start…I hope I can find the time soon.
