So my niece is getting married on the 18th and for months I've been thinking that I need to make a dress for my darling daughter....(you know... my girly-girl who REFUSES to wear a dress unless it's Sunday and I make her wear a dress to church...) and now the wedding is less than 2 weeks away and I have yet to even go to the fabric store! BUT I did do a quick sketch of what it's going to look like! Don't know if I've mentioned this before... I despise using a pattern!!! I can't stand the paper that rips so easily... and having to pin it to the fabric? Forget it! Not to mention the fact that I can never find a pattern that is exactly what I want so I end up having to rework it anyway.... So I usually just start with a quick sketch, work out in my head how each piece needs to be and in what order and then draw directly on the fabric with chalk. Every once in awhile, if I think I'm going to want to make more than one, I will draw the pattern on paper.
Here's my quick sketch (I know you can TOTALLY tell I have an Art degree!)
This is the quick sketch for mine (if I find the right fabric...)
Looks kind of weird now that I'm looking at it but that's just because I drew the lining to be visable so I could see what I want but it's not going to be sheer...
If this one turns out as easily as I'm hoping it's going to be, I will post a DIY! I have a maxi dress DIY pattern that I've been meaning to post... hopefully by the end of the week...
