Hi All! I'm back from the Reading, Pa airshow, what an awesome event!! I have so much to share but I want to get caught up with a few posts first. But before I forget, the winner of my
surprise giveaway is ....
I have projects to share as promised. :) Today I have some photos of the
Breakfast at Tiffany's dress I finished back in May for my friend Abby. You may recall the
first post where we played with the pattern to get just the right look.
I first couple photos are ones I took with my cell phone so they are not all that great. (I have a new camera now so going forward photos will be much better!) The photos of Abby wearing the finished dress at prom were taken by someone else.

This photo, although very washed out, shows the finished front with some options for jewelry.

There were a few minor adjustments to make last minute, such as taking the bodice in a little more, but I think in the end it fit pretty well. Using my mom's sewing machine I was able to serge all the seams making the inside of the dress much neater. The fabric, although nice to work with over all, did fray quiet a bit.
Abby looks fantastic, don't you think?

This is truly one of the loveliest and most sophisticated prom dresses I have ever seen. Excellent work on it, dear gal, and many kudos to Abby for picking such a classy, timeless piece for her big night. She could turn right around, if the opportunity arose, and wear this to a White House dinner if she was so inclined. It's elegant, beautiful, and immensely becoming, too.

*PS* Thank you very much for your wonderfully nice blog comment today. I smiled ear-to-ear when you described the secret fifth season - we often have that here in Canada, too. :)
