Almost complete. I inserted the elastic into the casing made by stitching the bodice to skirt and then stitching the upper edge of the seam. Pattern calls for 1/4 inch elastic but I used 3/8 for a better fit and feel. I then covered the belt elastic. I was able to find a silver buckle at JoAnn's on Thursday to use. After elastic was covered and folded over edges were sewn down, I tried on the dress and decided I did not like the A-line look of the skirt portion.
My inspiration dress is more straight or tapered. I then look in the side seams from just below the side seam pocket to hem edge. I did this for lining fabric as well, of course. All I need to do now is hem the dress and lining!!!
Yea!! This project was beginning to make me feel bogged down. I have more projects floating in my head and want to get started on them before my vacation is over and back to work!!
