Makeover time, again!

Almost exactly 3 years ago I sent this Beauty off and she also came back for a few updates this week as well.

I replaced the sleeves, collar and peplum with pink fancy fabric and I attached the collar to the bodice so it is all one piece.

The peplum is still separate but my project for this coming week wants it to be all one piece so I'm about to figure that out!

Makeover time!

At the end of June 07 I made a Cinderella and sent it to CA. I hadn't been making dresses on my own for long but I thought I did a good job.

The actress looks fabulous in the dress and it was worn regularly for 3.5 years.

Last week the bodice came back to me for some updates and I was thrilled to see how well it's held up! After a thorough soak and wash (I swear by Tide Stain Release Tabs and OxyClean) I got to making the top smaller, that was one mistake I did make, replacing the trim, sleeves, and over skirt. With the updates the top looks sparkly new and I'm hoping it lasts another 3.5 years!

This Beauty is headed out to New Jersey tomorrow. It was finished a week ahead of time because it was the project I had all the information and pieces for. The next two projects are bodice rebuilds and the bodices haven't quite made it to me yet. They are both on the way now and they will soon be sparkling like new! For now here's another thing that sparkles, the gems on the shoulder swag and head piece are really growing on me.

 

So what do you think, gems? Or no gems?
