Emery Engagement

Two weekends ago we got to head to Los Angeles and meet up with our wedding photographer Yvette from Ettevy Photography for our engagement photos.

I am a super terrible procrastinator so it really wasn’t until Saturday that I figured out what I wanted to wear for our Sunday shoot – and no duh I decided on an emery dress and stripes. I’m fairly certain there are no two better things in the world.

I was sewing up until about an hour before our photographer arrived to the location. I’m so glad I stuck with a TNT pattern with some minor twists. For this variation I lowered the front neckline and dipped the back into a V. I had zero time to line the bodice so i finished the neckline with bias tape. Maybe someday I’ll go back and add a lining in but she still looked lovely!!

I was terrified of matching the stripes across the zipper but it actually turned out perfectly – thank goodness for lots of basting! By squeezing out the upper back darts it helped not to let the v-back have any gaping.

These are by far the best sewing outfit photos I will ever have!!

In the next couple of days I will show the other half of our photos and the scout variation I made for the casual look half of our photo shoot.

And you know I had to add this last one in cus – DANG look how handsome that future husband of mine is!! How in the world did I get so lucky!?

This also checks off #8 on my 26 before 27 list!
