FO: Emma Dress

I finished hand-tacking the facings onto the first dress in my collection this morning - stick a fork in her, she's done!  (Except for the hem - that comes after model fittings.)  I'm calling her Emma, since her shape is based on my beautiful vintage Emma Domb wedding dress.

She's the least complicated of my dresses, which makes me a little nervous, but I worked really hard to get the fit to where I wanted it, and I'm very happy with the result.  I absolutely love the fabric, and I think that the style and color of the dress fits in my collection perfectly.

One dress down, two more to go!

this is a perfect dress. Are you going to market this in "fat chick sizes"? I would actually wear this dress! And i like how you kept the spirit of the back shaping, but made it a bit more "covery'. Helps with finding the right undergear AND probably more flattering to some folks. This is a very strong look-not like Valykyrie strong, but positive and confident strong. keep up the good work....come back and go junking with me! You are fun to dress up-I never fit in the cool vintage stuff.
