The colour is beautiful and I think it is great you ended up with a totally unique dress by mixing two patterns even if that wasn't quite your plan!

Your comments are so nice I am blushing a little (but chuffed to bits too!).<br /><br />Scruffy I am totally inspired by your summer sewing plans....until I look out the window and see the TEEMING rain... smells nice coming in the window though at least.<br /><br />Melizza, the colour of your new blouse is lovely! I reckon leave the lace on the cuffs, but not the blouse itself. *Maybe* add some to the collar (it might look funny though). I am so impressed that you looked your fear in the eye and sewed up a vintage pattern AND that you graded it up - I have two that I'm too scared to do that with.... must.face.fear<br /><br />xthe craftytravellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00122562999314308422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436813464819866874.post-41928521691518989292012-04-26T17:30:27.976+01:002012-04-26T17:30:27.976+01:00Oh Rachel I think the trials and tribulations were...Oh Rachel I think the trials and tribulations were so worth it. I can imagine you wearing it & the lace back/ cowl neck combo is dreamy. I can see it now, at the wedding- you are chatting to someone who marvels that "you made your dress, but the neckline, the fabric..." who then gets a beautiful suprise when you turn to speak to the person behind you who was admiring the gorgeousness of the lace ...it is a conversation piece for all the right reasons. And don't you also look adorable in your wedding dress? Have a great time at the "do" (& all the rest this summer!)Scruffybadgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18298057071412471482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436813464819866874.post-64908264855895084672012-04-26T15:44:44.468+01:002012-04-26T15:44:44.468+01:00Maisy looks gorgeous.

Making one would have added another thing to stress about the wedding. Good call on not making one.Melizza Makeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09535548992762009971noreply@blogger.com
