Holiday 2007 - Done ! December 14, 2007

Filed under: Embellishment, Fit/Pattern Alterations, Patterns, Phyllis — phyllisc @ 12:14 pm

I finished up the dress about 30 minutes ago - yee hah!  The party is at 6:00pm, so we’ll be leaving for the Westin in a few hours.  I’ll post a photo of me in the dress later this weekned, along with lots of detailed photos of the final work - it was mostly hand sewing once the main seams were done.  The photos are a pretty good representation of the actual color.

Anyway - here it is:

Also, the pattern is reviewed on PR.

Happy Holidays !  Phyllis
