tailor's tales

been working on a little black dress for a friend's wedding for a while, changed some details a few times and eventually after being a bit uncertain about it, i decided to wear it to the wedding and it felt great.

here is a little black dress progression;

just patterns on black fabric.

details and ironing.

developing an actual shape to it, and how it looked when i (first) finished it. the pink collar didn't seem elegant enough to my opinion so i unpicked it, which was harder than any sewing i ever did but was worth it, because the black one i finally did matches what i wanted this dress to look like in the first place. glad i didn't give up.

that's a drunk me afterwards.

now i get all kind of requests for it, in black and other colors, and that makes a pretty happy me.
