Here is my latest creation inspired by the Japanese Pattern book. The underdress was constructed from some leftover fabric from the flower girl dresses from my wedding. I love the fabric .... it is a beautiful swiss batiste and a joy to sew on. The lace was from Spain which I tea dyed. The gray wool is from a long Ralph Lauren skirt that I haven't been able to squeeze into in years and since I don't anticipate wearing it in the near future I put it to good use. I was even able to salvage one of the pockets and embelish it a bit. The long kick pleat in the back led me to draft the underdress which originally was just going to be a blouse. I almost like the underdress on its own and may even make another one out of a more intersting fabric.
So...now you know what goes on while the boys are doing all their school work.
very cute! I like Moo-moo's boots too. :)
ReplyDeleteThe under dress actually reminds me of your wedding, although I have only seen it in pictures. I still can't believe you sewed everything for your wedding. I love Maryanna's curls too.
