Hello all,
Thanks for stopping by the blog again! I have another dress for you that was made during my time at The Manse.
This dress features a pieced skirt with triangles inserted into each third of the skirt. Here's another dress I made with a pieced skirt.
My grandmother offered to hem the skirt. It is luxurious to have someone else finish a flared skirt for you!
I tried something a little different on the sleeves this time: making a pleat at the bottom of the sleeve instead of gathering it with elastic to make it a puffed sleeve. I think the pleats worked out pretty well.
There is a yoke in the back which I quite like.
Are y'all staying cool this summer? We've been watching the weather and smoke reports and having apprehensive feelings about the next few days since our house is void of air-conditioning. Oh, well. At least we don't live in Arizona right now.
to God be the glory,
Miss Humphrey
Very pretty. The yoke in back is a lovely touch.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have air conditioning either, but at least we don't have smoke to deal with this far south. Stay cool!
That's nice! We have a pretty bad passel of wildfire smoke, but it's supposed to clear out temporarily today, which will be refreshing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dress, I can imagine that it was nice for your grandmother to hem the bottom.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it will cool down soon, and the smoke clear.
It sure was! Yes, that will be nice :)
