Shawna's Examples Montana, USAClick on pictures for enlargements. Arwen's Angel Dress
Each had it's disadvantages, example #3653 had princess seams which I
hadn't sewn before. I ended up inserting extra triangles of fabric in the
side seams to create a proper fit that I don't think I would have needed if
not for the princess seams. Pattern #5843 was super easy but I do plan to
take a bit of the excess fabric out of the back or find a way to compress it
to create a less billowy effect. I did not make the ends of the underdress
sleeves wide, but fitted. For Fabric, I used to different kinds of satin: costume satin in white
for the underdress and baroque satin for the overdress, again in white. In
retrospect, I wish I had used the latter for the former and vice-versa. I
also used a white sheer to line the overdress sleeves for a finished look
inside the sleeve. For trim on the neckline, I used a yard of loose weave
trim and hand beaded sequins in two different shapes, faux pearls, and seed
beads in silver and blue. As for the trim on the edges of the split sleeve
outer dress and the split up the front, I used silver embroidery floss and
small clear beads and did a variation of a blanket stitch. The cloak was created from Butterick #3084 view C and royal blue satin and sheer for the lining. It was very simple to create.
