a ballgown development

[robinsnest]

Spell check really thinks ballgown is two words...I really want it to be one word...who's right?

Anyway apparently hiraimi and I are racing to finish our ballgowns. Which is good as I put it off for a week, then she threw down the gauntlet and I hemmed all 180" of it yesterday in an hour. Apparently I'm mildly competitive. I woke up this morning and was actually sewing by 9am. Don't die of shock here.

As I leave for work today I currently have the skirt hemmed and pleated on the waist band. All it needs is to have the waistband whipped down on the inside and a hook and eye sewn on and it's all done. Take that Miss Alice!

Sadly now I have to go to work till 10pm...but maybe I'll whip down the inside of the waistband when I get home.



btw getting my pleats nice and even required stupid amounts of MATH. ew.

it's 3 panels so 180"

Is it gored or straight? Or maybe I should ask if it's box pleated all the way around the waist band.

straight, and 6 double box pleats around :-)
