Still in progress!

I started sewing my size of the 50's Belted dress. It looks great so far! Here are some photos of the progress.

Now In progress - Belted 50's dress

I found this illustration on pintrest(everyone's new obsession) a while back, and I just fell in love! I started to drape it on my dress form but events and visitors kept popping up and it just sat half draped. 

  With all my visitors home and finally a free weekend I was able to finish draping and sew a mock up!   I've decided that I am not going to purchase any more muslin until I use up the yuck fabric that I have taking over ALL of my closets! So, much to my 7 year old son's dismay, I used the last of the yuckiest, stiffest, most pixelated Transform fabric I could find. 

Once the pattern fit perfectly to the dress form I decided to grade it up a size so I could actually wear it. 

Next step; one more mock up to make sure the grading is correct and that to make sure I really am only one size bigger than the dress form! 

Hopefully I'll get the mock up done this weekend. I'll post progress as soon as there is any. . .
