Here’s the final sneak peek of my dress before I’m in complete costume! (Because bed head, glasses, and a Wreck It Ralph shirt don’t exactly match.) I don’t have enough time to embroider the bodice, so I’m going with appliqués and adding embroidered details later. But oh, I am so in love with this!

(Also, I need to clean my bathroom.)

(Also, I need to buy a full length mirror.)

“It’s only four types of trim on the skirt,” I said. “It’ll be easy,” I said. Well, it wasn’t easy, but it’s done! Now I need to remove the first skirt from the bodice, add this one, and then I’ll be done! Except for the embroidery. Because I’m a crazy person. #secretproject

It looks like a real thing!! Now it’s a matter of tweaking the fit and adding the details. It still bothers me that the navy is so dark- honestly, I probably would have bought new fabric if I had remembered how dark it was. Ugh, now I’m frustrated. Tell me honestly, does it look bad?

This looks like a weird ladder thing, but it’s going to be a bodice, I swear.

(I’m slightly bummed the fabrics don’t photograph well, though. But I already had the navy fabric and didn’t want to buy different navy fabric. In real life it’s pretty gorgeous, though. And soft. SO SOFT. I might even wear my chiffon malco modes petticoat with the finished dress and up the soft factor. And the poof.)
