llyrafantasyfaeMy friend came over, yesterday to help me with mocking up the shoulder part. She is so awsome to brave the sauna that is my house and sweating me.
We tried lacing it up with ribbon for the first time. I like how that looks! I had to go out and get more fabric for the shoulder part. The plan was a taffeta but I wasn't liking any of the ones the store had. I pick up a yard of the party taffeta because it seemed the stiffer of the two. It was right next to the bridal section and me being me my fingers were trailing along the bolts and I felt a nice crisp fabric. It turned out to be a silk duponi. I picked up that fabric also and plan to make up the piece in that. I kept the taffeta also just in case the duponi turns out to be an epic fail. I handwashed it last night, since it said dry clean only. I have no intention to dry clean it EVER, but the whole bodice, being boned can only be handwashed so might as wash that part that way also. It dryed over night. Today I plan on ironing it out and cutting into it. It would be awsome if I could finish it today.... It is a possiblity!
