Completed Lady

 

Well here it is, the final outfit. I really should have ironed it before taking the pictures.

 

The back seems to be bulging out in a slightly strange way, I didn’t notice it when she was wearing it, so maybe its the angle of the photo, or maybe it just needs smoothing down.

 

I prefer the dress by itself. I’m really pleased with the sleeves and the piping.

She looks like she is floating when you can’t see her feet, but even though you can’t see them I found the perfect little pair of matching gold pumps.

Remember the right underwear.

 

Here is the nearly finished spencer, sewing the velvet was not actually as bad as I expected it to be, the walking foot on the sewing machine saved my life. If you don’t have a walking foot I would strongly advise it, it pretty much eliminates layers of fabric sliding in the wrong direction.

I forgot to put the corset on underneath for the fitting, and Hanna had a padded bra on, this is the reason for the pulling across the front. I need to remember the correct foundations next time.

Just the buttons left to do.
