not bad for a pair of curtains!

operation fall wedding guest dress accomplished! BOOYAH!isnt that rad? i have been drooling over this dress from the tv show pushing daisies for a looooooooooooooong time now, and now i will drool no more! if you havent seen that show, you should. even if you dont like the show itself, anna friels (chuck) wardrobe is the most amazing thing i have ever seen! google it. i dare ya.ok so the fabric i used i got from my momma last week with all of those cool patterns. she bought this one curtain panel at a yard sale, and when i started taking the seams and pleats out, we realized it was TWO panels doubled up! this was extra good because where were random paint sploches on one.god i hope those are paint sploches. look at the texture of this fabric-- i think it makes the dress even more fabulous!it isnt even itchy. i think it looks like it would be itchy or uncomfortable, but it isnt in the slightest!ok so making this was easy and not so easy. it was a lot of frankensteining. the top is from simplicity 3430, the bottom is from simplicity 7995.... and the bubble skirt i drafted using my brain. its not hard. its a rectangle and a more different rectangle. anyone can do it. the worst part of this dress was trying to figure out how /where to put the zipper. i went with center back, and had to keep the top bubble layer open so that i could add tulle in there to poof it up if i want. which i do. and also i didnt want it to get flattened in a zipper. so, the top layer snaps together and the zipper is underneath! i hope that makes sense. you can kinda see it here....the other worst part of this was when i kept breaking needles on my serger because i was so determined to serge all 4 layers of fabric at once and my serger was like "OOOOOOOMMMMFFFFGGGGG WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME???!?!! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!" and i was like, "DO IT BITCH! SERGE MY SHIT!" and then i WON. HA!...so. i will be wearing this tonight to a wedding. nice photos to follow!oh yeah! it has pockets. awwwww yeahhhhh!
