Introducing Nora




I finished the Gown of Doom!!! Here it is being worn by our new family member Nora, the dressmaking dummy.

I'm very pleased with how it turned out, never having tried to make this type of dress before.

The assistance of the Marzie as cutter-outerer, overlockerer and for general advice was much appreciated.

Mistyqee, for whom the gown was made, absolutely loves it, says that with those sleeves she feels as if she could just float or fly away.

Now to find somewhere/something to which she can wear it.

Think I'll take a break before I make the purple one.

Bye bye holidays.

Very nice :D
I used to make customes for a theater a long time ago - an opera actually to be correct - and I know what a nightmare it can be to use the kind of fabrics that you have in that dress.
