Hey it’s me, Hannah. Sometime last year, darling husband, a lover of parties and celebrations, lamented out loud that we hadn't gone to any weddings recently. And I reacted as any reasonable person with a touch of superstition, with rage. Because I knew he had just cursed us to a year of expensive travel, and those rare unclaimed weekends, claimed.
And as a result of his unwise manifestation, we are now headed into a two week period in which we will be attending three weddings.
I’m actually super excited, but you can't deny that weddings are kind of an expensive event. And since I'll be burning most of my budget on airfare and hotel rooms, I've decided to attempt to make my own wedding guest dresses using thrifted fabric and materials as best I can, and using free patterns, if not self drafted patterns.
So the first wedding I'm going to calls for semi-formal attire. So I've decided on a free pattern from Mood, the Anthea dress, which is a kind of trendy milkmaid dress pattern that might be above my sewing capabilities as a beginning sewist. But I'm going to give it a whirl.
And because the milkmaid dress can be a more casual silhouette, I'm going to attempt to dress it up by using this thrifted curtain for my fabric, which has a nice sheen to it, and I think can take it up a notch to that semi-formal level. So I have already adjusted the pattern to my measurements and I have cut out the pieces. So let's get to sewing.
Okay, The bodice is done! I'm very happy with how this dress has turned out so far. This dress has already afforded me so many opportunities to try out tools I haven't had a chance to try yet. This was my first time using a buttonhole presser foot and my first time using a hemming presser foot, so I'm excited to add those tools to my tool belt. I still think this fabric is just perfect for taking a relatively informal dress shape and elevating it up to that semi-formal level. I don't usually reach for brown, but I do think that little bit of shine we're getting off of the fabric is going to be perfect.
Really all we have left to do today is construct the skirt, add the skirt to the bodice, install the zipper, and add a hem, and then we'll be done and ready for the first of three weddings.
It is the morning of the wedding and I just royally screwed it up. I serged through an extra layer of the dress that wasn't meant to get caught in the serger. The morning of the wedding. All right. So now that I have emotionally recovered from that little snafu, let me explain what happened with dress number one. The day before wedding number one, I decided I wanted to make the skirt a little more form fitting. I felt like with the fabric just...attempting the flowy versus...the more structured dress was the way to go on that. So rather than completely deconstructing the skirt, I decided to just put the dress on inside out pin up where I wanted to alter the dress, a common practice in self-alterations, as far as I know.
The morning of the wedding, I decided I wanted a more polished finish. So I got my serger out and decided to serge the new seams on the inside of the dress. This is all three hours before the wedding starts. I wasn't paying attention to where my skirt fabric was and I fed some of my skirts to my serger and ended up cutting it right there, like four inches in. So needless to say, I panicked and I just decided to wear something else. I do think I can salvage this dress, maybe do like a drop waist with some ruffles. I'm not super comfortable with the length of this dress and I think a longer dress will help balance the additional volume here at the sleeves and at the bust.
But unfortunately, this dress is just not the vibe for the other two weddings coming up. So I'm going to have to put this dress in the To Be Finished Project pile and go ahead and move on...
