polka dot fairy tale dress
April 30th, 2013
I totally left you hanging! Sorry! Well, the dress is done and it turned out even better than I had hoped.
I don’t think I could say any more about this dress–I mean I’ve written 6 posts about it already!
The seventh hour (in case you are wondering) was spend hand sewing the lining to the zipper and sewing a little hook and eye in the back. Oh and sewing a veil, which was very poofy and weird, but veils are poofy and weird by nature, so I think that means I got it right?
Her first communion went well. She didn’t slip and fall in her high heel (!) shoes. And multiple people said the dress fit her personality to a tee. A fantastic compliment if I ever heard one. And she loved the dress! She may not ever wear it again, but maybe her daughter will someday.
that huge polka dot bow is killing me. what a fabulous dress, and i love how you shared the process. it really is perfect!
Really beautiful dress and congratulations to your daughter on making her First Communion. It’s wonderful how you detailed the process of making the dress. I am in the middle of making one for goddaughter/niece and it feels like a very special role to be involved in this way :-)
It turned out just beautiful!
it is absolutely gorgeous! adore the last photo.
Meg this is so beautiful. I must admit you did a great job of building suspense and I was SO curious how it would turn out! Coupled with your daughter’s adorable freckled nose this is a KCW legend.
Her cute little freckles (and the giant polka dot bow!) are killing me!!! How special and perfect. My little gal would totally wear this on a daily basis with sparkly shoes, hehe. Fantastic work, Meg!
