I love going to the bookstore to just browse their the pictures in their sewing books. Last week I dropped by the bookstore with my sort-of-husband and saw the latest issue of Thread:
I was not a big fan of Threads — the issue I got a while back (for free) had some coats and projects that looked really… home-made. However, this issue’s cover dress looks gorgeous! I wish I could find a clearer picture to show you, but the bodice has really intricate seam lines, and the skirt is fun and flowy with lots of seam as well.
I flipped the magazine open, and took a look at the how to. It is basically lots of bias strip of fabric sewn onto the bodice! I do have a corset that I never wear anymore, and it could be a really good base for this dress. I am tempted to make it! It could be very cute as a pretty formal but fun dress. However, it looks like it will take FOREVER to do. Maybe after my wedding (though its a great idea for a fun wedding dress too)! Do you guys like it? Have you ever done something like this?

Wow! I’m imagining it in white, with a more textured fabric =)
Ooo.. that would be a pretty wedding dress, but does looks like a lot of work.
That bodice is gorgeous- I’d say it’s definitely worth the effort. It’s detailed without being overwhelming. Go for it!
That’s a beautiful dress. You should make it…. and then give it to me. 😛
I’m way behind on commenting on this post, but this dress is wonderful! I just found your blog and I love it!
