My Cocktail Dress

November 26th, 2011

For Will and Laura’s wedding I found it very challenging to find a cocktail dress that would accommodate my increasing baby bump.  So I decided to design and make on for myself.    I was very happy with how my dress turned out.

bigday

Today is the big and special wedding Day of my brother in law Will and the lovely Laura.   A sneak peak at a small section of their handmade gift from us.  (More on that later).  So excited for this day and to see my family looking great and joining together for this celebration.

Christian’s Dress Rehearsal

November 18th, 2011

chdr1

For Uncle Will’s and the soon to be Aunty Laura’s wedding day.   Our dress rehearsal to check that what I made for Christian worked well for him (and fit).  He does have to look as handsome as his dad who is one one the groomsmen.  So only a handmade lined cotton twill waistcoat, suit pants, belt, handkerchief and neckerchief would do for my little man.  I did cheat a little and bought the shirt.  A lovely friend found the hat for me which saved me making one.  If Christian could read a dance card I’m sure it would be full.

For my birthday I wanted to sew something new to wear.  So this wrap skirt with my pregnancy bump was perfect.  Even better it was made with brushed cotton fabric I found on the two dollar per meter pile.  It goes really well with my coral coloured top.  My lovely Christian guaranteed that it was to grubby to wear into the evening, so grey it was.

A thank you gift for friends, whom noticed the bunting I made for Christian and liked it.  So I made 10 meters for them.  Perfect:)
