Plus I didn't want to crease up my fabric by pulling it out through the straps!Jorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263908192771903161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17673846.post-69737856571892396762016-12-28T00:53:39.201+11:002016-12-28T00:53:39.201+11:00This dress is gorgeous!

Or did you see the shoulders by machine and turn the whole bodice through the straps? I have this in my stash and I'm trying to work out the best way to go about it. I prefer the machine method but I don't know if the straps might be too narrow?

The skirt is unlined, but all seams and hems were handfinished for a super neat inside job!<br /><br />Loved your culottes, too!Jorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263908192771903161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17673846.post-16273071129263215052016-12-06T16:10:21.550+11:002016-12-06T16:10:21.550+11:00Gorgeous dress and so happy wearing it.Gorgeous dress and so happy wearing it.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691687252337993643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17673846.post-30342662547183444072016-12-06T14:45:35.489+11:002016-12-06T14:45:35.489+11:00This is one of the most beautiful dress I have eve...This is one of the most beautiful dress I have ever seen in sewing blogosphere :) You look lovely!punktyodniesieniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15749478170169385347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17673846.post-58884006280144110042016-12-06T14:24:52.472+11:002016-12-06T14:24:52.472+11:00I loved this dress so much!

I almost always fully line the bodice with cotton lawn but I'm wondering lately if I should try something new. I'd love to do a faced lining, but can't find a good tutorial anywhere.thingsforboyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11025820476772182937noreply@blogger.com
