Continuing bridesmaid dress progress

[mala_14]

Not much progress. :p I should have picked a simpler design, maybe. I shortened the length of the overlay on the side seams to streamline them a bit. Then I hand-gathered the side of the overlay, re-pinned to the lining, and hand basted the two together. It's now ready to be trimmed and sewn. I should probably do that now. I was hoping to have way more done today, like the bodice completely together and attached to the skirt. Doesn't look like that's going to happen. Still thinking I'll get it finished this weekend, except maybe hemming. (The skirt is a half circle and will need to hang for a while before hemming.) Totally going to machine hem this sucker!

I just want to get started on my GoT Tyrell bodice!

When you hem, save yourself aggravation and use bias binding to turn under, favoring the outside. So much easier!

Thanks for the tip! I think I may use the rolled hem foot on this one. I've used it before with good results.
