Finiiiiiished. My first ever dress made entirely by me using a McCalls pattern.



(With a photoshoot and last minute corsage hairclip to go with it.)



Main fabric, Lining and petticoat: Satin/Polyester blend

Trim: Lace

Ruffles: Netting

Embellishments: Cotton Embroidery threads (chain and backstitch), Glass beads.

Corsage: Literally a mixture of everything.



What did I learn from this? Polyester will always be a bitch to sew. Hem or overlock EVERYTHING. Circle skirts may drown you in material if you're not careful. Patterns aren't always 100% correct and old college threads are crap when it comes to gathering (Y)



This took about two weeks.



Model: Charlie Fenner

Make-up: Me

Photographer: Me
