Ding Dong the Witch is................. Almost Done!

Hello Dhaaarlings....


Princess has been beavering away at the sewing machine for much of the day
Here's an update on my customers Witch Costume!




There is still a bit of work to be done on it... Like the sleeves still needing to be attached to it.... but it will be rip roaring and ready to go for a fitting tomorrow afternoon...




Here it is from the rear....



Neckline Detail...

My customer decided that as her party is part Birthday and part Celebration of surviving a recent battle with breast cancer she wanted a plunging neckline with a lacy inset... "I've still got some cleavage you know!"....
I've used the same net on the cuffs of the sleeves and may even add a draped cape/ hood to the shoulders with the fabric remaining...

Sleeve/Cuff detail...

I'll let you know what she thinks after tomorrows fitting Darlings...

Now it's time for a little drink

I think I've earned it today!


Ps.... You may not have noticed but "Maude" my (ancient dressmakers dummy) now has new legs!
They are a result of cutting down an old card stand that my brother was throwing out of his shop. 

Maude doesn't know herself.... But.... The Cooking Sherry is 
still under lock and key!

  9. It's beautiful, she might want to became a full time witch when she tries it on. Is she going to dye herself green like Grotbags off Emu's World?
