May. 20, 2009 - At long last
At long last photos of my Galadriel dress! Thank you for waiting!
This project took me about 14 hours ( stop laughing I am a beginner =))
Goal: To do this right w/ out adults.
Steeps:
1-Find a pattern(s) closest to the dress.
2-Draw my idea of how the dress should look.
3-Shop for all supplies needed.
4-modify patterns to get the results I want.
5-make the dress.
6-Compare results to Drawing.
Price: Ready for this...$11.00! This dress was much much cheaper $70 something I spent on my Narnia dress! Besides the sleves the whole dress was made out of our old drapes!
I answered some questions in order to wrap up my thoughts of this project.
What was the hardest part?:
Getting the fitting right for sure! I bought a plus size not knowingly.
What problems did you have?:
Water stains on fabric, cutting wrong, buying a plus size.
What would you do different next time?:
Not buy a plus size.
What was the best part?:
Working together on a project with my good friend Lucy . I hope to get her Arwen costume on sometime also! *hint hint* Lucy.
What was the easiest part?:
The hems.
What are some things that you learnd?
Check the size of what ever pattern you use!
Would you do this again?:
Sure. I had a lot of fun doing this!

Oh, that dress is simply gorgeous! I am starting to get envious! I made a medieval dress once, and it doesn't fit quite right.
I noticed that you added me as a friend, so I came over to see your blog, and I got to see that dress! What a treat.
Have a very bright, very cheerful day!
