Like I mentioned yesterday, my hubby gave me a challenge… He thought Nellie’s dress was pretty and nicely made, but he’s a BIG fan of blue…so he said, “I think if you made a blue dress it would have been better!” Well, we talked a little bit and decided to see if he was right about the color blue, or if Neutral or “bland” as he called it, could hold it’s own…
As you’ve seen, I AM making another pleated front dress like the beige one and this is what I plan to do…
When I get them both finished and you’ve seen them, you’ll have to decide which one you think will go for the highest price on Ebay. You’ll have an opportunity on a certain day (I’ll let you know the day) to post a comment letting me know which dress you think will go for the most money. You can choose either Beige or Blue and then when the auctions are over, I’ll put all the names of the ladies who picked the highest priced dress and put them in a hat… If it’s Beige that goes for the most, “I” will draw out a name, but if the Blue dress goes for the most, I’ll let my “hubby” draw out a name… AND the winner will receive a pair of cute little beige shoes shown on Nellie.
I emailed the lady who had them for sale and she found a few more pairs but I bought the last pair she had…at least for now… she may get more in. Then I’ll send them to the person who’s name was drawn! Get it? I think I explained everything… but for now, I just need to get them both finished and take some great pictures of each…
I got quite a bit finished on Samantha’s dress over the weekend… the snaps were sewn down the back, buttons added to the back, and the skirt sewn on and hemmed.
I used little glass white buttons down the back…
I began looking for buttons to use on the dress and was having some troubles… because all of my vintage buttons are yellowish and the blue dress needs white.
I laid a few of the vintage buttons on the fabric so you could see that they need to be white.
Did anyone notice I reduced the size of the sleeves? They are much nicer and not so droopy on the blue dress…(although I think that was the idea with beige dress…droopy sleeves…)
I’m using this blue ribbon for her pleated sash…
…and I have these 2 buttons I “could” use for the brooch.
I’m probably going to go to Hobby Lobby tomorrow and see if I can’t find something in the charms or beads that might work better to finish up this dress.
Linda suggested possibly a dickie to go under the “V” in the front of the dresses… I like that idea and might do it.
I fixed the ends of Nellie’s sash, shortening them about an inch and like them much better. They were too long before, I think.
…before…
…and after shortening it…
Someone wanted to see the sash in the front and in the back… so here you go…
Let me show you another dress amde from this fabric, actually made for and modeled by Nellie, back in 2011. Marilyn is the proud owner of this dress… :o)
Well, I hope you are anxious for me to get this dress finished and lots of pictures taken… I’ll hurry…
See you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
