I finally completed my Alabama Chanin inspired dress!
Although I'm posting this rather late the dress actually didn't take as long as I thought it would. I wrote the first post in July and I finished the dress in September. It truly was a labor of love and it was wonderful learning new skills, including stenciling and reverse applique. I also discovered new appreciation for the control hand sewing affords; however, the best part was the dress fits like a dream! Ms. Chanin sure does know how to draft a flattering dress pattern.
I would like to thank my mother-in-law for the fabulous accessories (i.e. necklace and earrings). I'll never wear this dress without them again!
Happy sewing everyone!
WOW! This is awesome. Way to go. You look FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteJust the prettiest thing ever, and looks wonderful on you.
ReplyDeleteYour dress is beautiful! I have only just "discovered" Alabama Chanin (even though I LIVE in Alabama) so it is fun to look at Pinterest and see other folks' lovely AC projects. I have only attempted pieces that have stenciling and reverse applique in limited places on the garment.
