Hello friends,
Well one more left the stable...here's Shakia rocking her prom gown! This gown is interlined with an interfaced lining weight fabric. It has rigiline boning and I put piping around the top of the bodice. I used an invisible zipper. This was the easiest sequin fabric I have every sewn. No needles breaking and I didn't have sequins all over the place when I finished. The sequins were sewn onto a stretchy netting. Each biased cut layer on the skirt has a wolly nylon rolled edged hem over 20 lb fishing line. The bottom skirt is soooo dreamy!
Here's the black and red sequined dress. I drafted the pattern using Celebrations software from Wildginger. It on the other hand was horrible to sew with, I know I've broken at least 5 needles and there were sequins all other the place. There's no zipper in it at this point. I'm working on the sleeves and the bow/train tomorrow. I underlined the sequin fabric with a poly satin (med) weight. Because the dress is so heavy, I'm going to encase all seams with seam binding rather then add a lining.
