Vo...Oh this dress sounds like it will be fabulous! <br />Vogue 2481 was the first dress I decided to make for myself (with the help of my mom) for a ball in college. I just couldn't find what I was looking for so we made it instead!<br /><br /> We made it in 3 days over easter break so you will have no problem in 11 days! <br /><br />Also - thanks so much for all your work on this blog! I found it in september/october when I was looking for ideas on making a snow white costume! The costume turned out great and has a fabulous horsehair hem that I learned how to do reading back posts here! <br /><br />Here's a pic of me in the Snow White costume: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=7266735&l=56a02277dc&id=697258342Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12847806001580829930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-65591299522503306922011-01-03T13:16:04.339-05:002011-01-03T13:16:04.339-05:00Gorgeous!

I have never made muslin mock ups of my garments before, and I can see it would have saved me some headaches... but what do you do with a muslin fitting dress? Do you just have a bunch of muslin pieces hanging in a closet? (BTW I can see the possibilities of taking those musies and creating a whole new custom fitted piece)Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09052747161526184224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-53422783898830995542011-01-01T12:20:02.518-05:002011-01-01T12:20:02.518-05:00Fourth time's a charm!
