Today's theme appears to be not finishing anything.

Ok, I lie-- I finished splicing more elastic into the waistband of the flannel skirt I got about a month ago so that it fits more comfortably. Um. And was once again reminded that all the seam rippers in the house appear to have been swallowed by the void. I should just go buy four or five of them and paint them construction orange, or staple them to the wall.

And I was in the fabric store yesterday, because I felt that this was preferable to being irrationally irritated with my co-workers, and flipped through the pattern book in search of inspiration, finding none. And then I recalled this pattern, which I happen to own. It seems appropriate for a garden party sort of thing. Not, I think, the one with the train long enough for other people to step on, and there is something very odd about the sleeve. (I mean, besides it needing to be re-set so it's possible to raise one's arms...) Probably more of view B than view A, except not with the tassel, and something long sleeve like would be good. And there's this thing on saturday at which there might be nice fabrics...

(although I still kind of want to go abuse the wedding industry by trying on gowns someplace and then not buying any of them. but this requires organization and planning, and co-ordinating schedules with the local half of my moral support. bah.)

I think you could make something just lovely with that pattern as a starting point.


(But I don't blame you for wanting to go try on dresses you'll never buy. Heck, I want to do that. Filene's Basement?)

it is beautiful. I never tried on dresses for my wedding, somehow. I scoured magazines and websites, and didn't like anything, and then the dress was found in my aunt's house, and that was it. Although, that was like 11 months before the wedding, I'm sure I would have gotten around to trying on dresses if the time had been shorter.
