I unfortunately don't have any full length pictures of my grad dress. It was absolutely crazy. It took over 300 hours of work, i loved it so much but i think it looks better in real life. Anyways, I'm on the right.

Wow! All that fringe! You'll have to put it back on and model it again.

Beautiful work everyone. I am so inspired.
This is my most recent. I still need to hem it and I have a better ribbon for the bodice but i misplaced it. I think I should take the skirt in and I wish I would have done the short sleeved version.

Oh I'm sure I will, I have a bunch of pictures on my mothers camera as well, unfortunately it is currently in Ottawa with her.

here are my dresses, not exactly a master at this sort of thing though

1952 butterick pattern






1947 butterick pattern sorry I'm kind of surrounded by family, it's an owl print fabric. sorta silly but I like how it turned out. looks good w/ petticoats but I didn't have any at the time of the photo





fftopic: sorry not exactly in the style of the forum, but a saloon dress and the St Pauli Girl, I made both costumes I think they're both simplicity patterns. and yes Leah's that tall and I'm that short





working on another 1947 butterick dress and ran out of thread late at night, so I started on a vintage pattern from I think the 50's that I found in my mother's stash of patterns from Grandma... will have photos soon

Hepkitty that owl print is adorable. Welcome to the FL it's great to see another Idahoan!

The St Pauli Girl

A dirndl! I just made one too but not in the St Pauli Girl fashion.

hi Zendy, where in Idaho? if you're in the worst part (SE) like me, there is a 40s dance at the Pocatello airport in the AvCenter hangar on the 25th at 1800, $20 catered dinner and a live band haven't heard the band but it should be fun

PS I'm from the pretty part of ID originally, the north! but the rock climbing in this area is awesome

It Tietze something like Lyme Disease? I had that last year, from a tick bite, and felt like I had the flu for about three weeks.

Sorry, I've only just noticed this!

It's an inflammation of the cartilidge in the rib cage and lasts around 12 weeks. I'm currently in week 3... Sigh. Still, at least I have lots of time to plan my next project!

Ottawa? Me too? Are you nearby? Kudos to you for tackling all that fringe. I hope you had a blast swishing around in it on the dance floor.

 

[kymeratale]

Great style DPD, plus you accessorize so nicely with a beautiful smile.

I am partial to bracelet-length sleeves myself. Partly because my arms are on the short side and most full-length sleeves make me look like a monkey in her mom's shirt. Now that I am sewing though, I can have whatever sleeve length I want. Woot!

 

[Kitty_Sheridan]

DPD, that looks original!!! Gorgeous. Well done!

I'm working on a modern pattern at the moment, (the one on the far left) There are some good reviews on the net. I'm making the skirt slightly more full.

I like that. What is the company and pattern number?

@deadpandiva: That is very nice.
