I have the skirt part of the dress mostly done. It's sewn up and gathered around the top...it needs hemming (it's miles too long for me) and obviously it needs to be attached to the bodice.
I have obtained advice about using iron-on interfacing. (Pretty obvious really, just iron it on with no steam, but you don't want to take these things for granted...) and as I said earlier, everything is cut out and ready to go. I even drew darts on with taylor's chalk Giffy left with me after Azumanga Daioh cosplay. So more or less ready to start making the bodice.
I am taking a neck-friendly break which is actually not that neck friendly. I did have ice cream though, delicious mint choc-chip.
Hurrah! Dress creating is progressing rather well. More updates throughout the week as I get closer to being able to wearing it on Saturday. (Deadline: Birthday Party. The new not-very-exciting blog reality TV show.)
Also, soon I shall make a lovely long entry that sparks debate and stuff about Why I Hate Motor Racing. Bathurst was on yesterday, but I was distracted by real world interactions. I will not apologise. My social meter needs attending you know.*
*Geeky sims reference.
