Tonight I made the first full toile of my wedding dress. It is so exciting. Of course, I put it on and couldn't stop walking around the house and staring at myself in every mirror I could find. Looking at it from the back, from the front, from the side. So fun! I love it!
The skirt is way too big so there really wasn't any point in fitting it tonight. I would have to take in every seam pretty much, so I will make the pattern smaller and start over on the skirt. The top looks good aside from the pokey boobies. They are reminiscent of a Madonna concert costume which is not the look I am going for. I will have to re-place the darts on the pattern for a more flattering shape.
I am sure I will have several toiles before I cut into the real fabric. I wanted to take a photo and share it with all of you, but Matt may be checking my blog and I want him to be surprised. I think I will start taking some photos and just save them up and release them after the wedding. I will try to give you some tidbits when I can though.
I am glad I have made my dress a priority now. I had such a great time sewing tonight.
