FINISHED!!!!

[mlsdesigns]

Although, after the photo shoot I ripped out the sleeve heads to try and get a bit more ease over the front of my shoulder, they're stitched back in though, so, it's finished!!!!The proof is Look! I match my puppy!! It's so much fun to wear :o) When I got in from the pub, after my lunch, it was such a nice afternoon I mowed the lawn and played with the puppy. So, because of that and the slight sleeve mis-hap, I haven't got onto my ballgown, and I have to go to the pub tomorrow again, and I'm usually totally useless when it comes sewing at the weekends, so I don't think there will be much progress to report in the next few days! Oh, and I want to bake tomorrow too ;)

Hee hee, than you!
It's not cheeky at all, as long as it's not cheeky for me to say "not on your nelly"! I've found if I do something for money it's no fun any more.
It's taken me about a week to make, it's the school holidays, so no normal work to get in the wy, but I've been helping out a friend in her pub all week, so between times in the kitchen I was able to sew - it's all sewn by hand so I wasn't limited to my sewing machine!

simple and STUNNING! and i love that you match your puppy! i think i need to make a black dress so i can match my cocker puppy :]

Thank you! Sometimes simple is lovely isn't it? especially after the last 2 dresses I made!
And you absolutely have to match your puppy! (Your hair matches too, was that a fluke, like us, or deliberate?!)

Looks wonderful! And you and the puppy together reminds me of 18th century portraits. :)

Thank you!
Maybe I'll have to get a proper picture of the 2 of us? But Emmy is USELESS about posing for photos!

I love, love, love it!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I love it! I must have one... oh I'll put it on the list - with 8,000 other projects!

[mlsdesigns.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I have one of those lists too! I only start to worry when I start buying for all the things on my list, then it gets a bit dangerous!

Ah!!!! Love, love, love it! You know I almost started a gaulle last week, inspired by your how-to pics. I was a good girl and worked on commissions instead but I don't think I'll be able to resist much longer! Yours really is stunning and such a perfect use of that fabric! :>

[mlsdesigns.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
You really do need one too, it's such a lovely style. What fabric will yours be made from? I want pictures!!

[jennylafleur.livejournal.com]

I'll try to post pics soon but it's a dark olive green and rust stripe from Loren... it really screams gaulle!

[mlsdesigns.livejournal.com]

Thank you! She does need a blue ribbon, does't she?! Poor thing, she won't know what's hit her!

That is sooo beautifull, is it drafted from a real dress?

Thank you very much! No, it's not drafted from a real dress, I made it up based on another Gaulle, and looking at chemise dresses and portraits.

This is so yummy Megan! It's really inspiring.

[mlsdesigns.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! That's why we have LJs isn't it? To inspire each other :o)

Very pretty! I like the blue sash with it, though that gown color means you can wear almost any color sash. Lovely!

[mlsdesigns.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

How did I miss this?! It's lovely and gorgeous and now I want one :o)
