If the dress fits...

I spent the better part of today fixing my puckered seam and attaching an invisible zipper. While I didn't take photos of ripping out stitches, measuring and re-measure, I thought it would be MORE exciting to share a glimpse of a first fitting. There are a whole lot of raw edges and seams to finish, but when the moment of truth came--the dress fits! Here are a few horrible self-portraits with my new zipper in place.

Next steps will be to finish the aforementioned seams, hem the lining and attach the lower skirt, which boasts 4 yards of gathered tulle lining. The final version will be what you see here. Only way more skirt poufs. Stay tuned!

Festive sash added for festive effect.
