It’s finished and over. 
Here’s how it ended up:
- 3 Layers in the skirt. 2 of chiffon and one of satin.
- Each layer was two complete circles. (If you need an explanation on how I did this, just let me know!)
- The neckline was a sweetheart neckline
- Bodice was lined in cotton
- The back neckline was round and swooped down as low as I could get it and still wear my normal bra with it.
- The sash was made of chiffon and covered up the unsightly waist.
- I added a waist stay on the inside and I think that helped so much!
- I did a rolled hem on the bottom, although I wish I had gotten some wooly nylon to do that instead.
- I made my own facings for the neckline and arms.
- The flowers were made by burning chiffon and satin and tulle.
- One of the chiffon layers was a different color, but it worked out okay.
- If you make a dress like this, you’re gonna have some trouble getting enough fabric. I had to accumulate this fabric over several weeks. Waiting for coupons to come out and such.
- Even with coupons, it was still pretty expensive, I’m scared to total everything up…maybe I won’t.
- I made his tie as well. I used the pattern from the Purl Bee. I think it adds a nice touch.
- It was fun to dance in. It was fairly low profile until he spun me around. Then it would swish out! fun!
