Another Party Dress (or two)


Last month I was madly doing some last minute sewing for a bridesmaid dress for myself, when I decided that I wanted to make Adeline and Georgiana matching dresses for the same wedding. I literally finished them the day we packed and left for the wedding. 

I used this pattern one other time (A Little Bit of Sewing), but loved it way more this time. I think I'll probably use it a lot. Once I read the directions a few times, it was a breeze to sew. (if you have the pattern, I found the second set of bodice instructions so much simpler)



The back is supposed to be a long belt, but I didn't have enough fabric, so I just made it attached.
For the underpants for Georgi's outfit, I used Simplicity 2425.
Iwasn't to keen on having a huge belt for Georgiana dress, as I thought it would probably be very uncomfortable to lay on, so I skipped that entirely.

The back is supposed to close with loops like Adeline's dress, but I didn't feel like making such tiny loops, and I didn't think they'd hold right with the small buttons on Georgi's, so I used hair ties!! I've been meaning to replace them, since they are sort of different sizes, and all I had, but I just haven't gotten around to it.

My beautiful babes. rockin' their Party dresses.
