For all the fun and frolics over the last 10 months I did manage to pull it out of the bag and make a dress to wear to my son's wedding and I'm glad to say I felt a million dollars!
My Initial Idea
Using pattern numbers 211 & 212 from the Lutterloh 2017 supplements,
I made a sample dress
when I was happy with the sample, I cut out the pattern
Sewing the dress with a tulle overlay was tricky because at times I wanted the tulle to be sewn with the lining fabric and then at other times I wanted the tulle to be draped over the dress
This meant I had to sew the zip in before draping the tulle over the shoulders.
I also had to cut the skirt panels free hand because I wanted the flowers seen at the foot of the tulle to match all around the hem of the dress
What a absolutely amazing day
I was the proudest Mum ever
And here's me wearing the dress at another wedding 2 weeks later
