Wow, that hemming took me nearly three hours straight, but yaaaaay it was finally finished! And all of it in under a week! *** Granted it was nearly 10 hours a day, 6 days straight… but I was still proud. ***
Enough blabbering, now for what people really want; the photos!
First up is a shot of me and a couple of other Disney princesses at the New Years party the dress was made for.
So, in order to grab some shots where I wasn’t making goofy faces I drug my guy out a few weeks later for a diy photo shoot. This mostly involved us driving around town looking for pretty backdrops to shoot at. Here are a couple of those photos:
First we found a pretty lake with some swans.
And here is one with some thorn type bushes in the background.
While these were nice and all, we really hit gold with a super pretty church downtown.
And last but not least, my absolute favorite shot of the entire day….
The sun in my eyes was so painful, but I’m really glad Jason made me open them for this picture. It turned out to be really nice.
So that about wraps things up on this gown. It was a weeks worth of hard work, but turned out to be one of my favorite costumes to date. Sadly it will probably be the last costume I make for quite awhile. With my wedding coming up in May I need to start in on the bridesmaids dresses soon. Three full corsets, mockups, and gowns are sure to take quite a bit of time. But hey, they kinda count as costumes though, right?
