#2

Here is Princess Beauty #2. It is going to Iowa and I am going to Washington State!

My little sister who has been my nanny for a year now has decided to go home. One Vegas summer was enough for her! I will be out of the "office" from tomorrow afternoon until March 12th. If you need to contact me (or place an order) I will be near a computer the entire time and I'll have my phone with me as well.

This dress was a standard order. It will be worn by 3 princesses who are relatively close in sizes. (They vary by about 3 inches.) She also ordered the wig, gloves and a crinoline.


Have a beautiful day and I'll keep in touch over my vacation!

One down, one to go!

I finished the Princess Beauty dress for NY!

She requested a couple alterations. One is the color of the flowers she asked for mauve, I think I got close. The other is the neckline, she wanted it to be a little lower. I made the dress about an inch lower and the "collar" smaller. I like the smaller collar but I'm not sure how it will look on a bigger dress. This one is a size 0/2. Here are the pictures, Enjoy!



Now I'm off to finish the other one.

Keep your fingers crossed

I called the sewing machine place today just to find out where my machine was at in the getting fixed process and they were like, oh yeah it's here, it's been here for a day or so, it's still in the box they sent it back in. I asked if there was something else that had to be done or could I come pick it up and they said come and get it!

Yay for me! I don't have to figure out how to do a four step buttonhole after all. I probably wouldn't have had to anyway my sweet friend read my blog and offered her machine with the automatic buttonhole function.

The skirts are together, the head pieces are done, one rose for each dress is done, the bodices are just over 1/3 complete and the projects are on track.

Now I just have to hope that the fix will hold, it's the 3rd time I've had the same part fail. If it breaks again I'm moving on to another brand!
