The bride will be coming home for a fitting next week.  I have the underdress all ready.  I’ll post pictures after next week when she has it on.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed that there are no major fitting issues.  I’m a little concerned because the duct tape mini-me hasn’t turned out as accurate as I would have liked.

After checking the fit then I just have to sew on the lace.  Appliques on the top, and a lace overskirt.  I bought lace with beads, so it will be a lot of hand sewing.  But working with the lace should be the fun part.

In between working on this, I’ve been tweaking my Baby Bishop pattern and it should be ready for a testing call soon.  I also have an American Girl doll dress in the works also.  It is so nice to get away from wedding stress and work on my patterns and designs.  The business has been put in a holding pattern with the wedding dress project, but I’m still plugging away and I’m anxious to start offering my patterns for sale.

I’m also still waiting for my model to arrive.  I purchased a life-like baby doll from Ashton Drake and it’s taking months to ship it!  Hopefully it will arrive by the August 15th date they promised.

I’ll be back soon with pictures!
