I want to make a dress like this for me! Have never sewed anything before though!

LetUsPrey · 16/04/2013 20:10

I don't know who I want to go! I like them all and Stuart's really grown on me.

Let them all win!

It's easier than it looks.
really!

Shesparkles · 16/04/2013 20:12

I'm actually quite stunned at how easy the dress is!

I'm still so Envy of that lovely room.

Can someone please talk me through the French seam thingamy? I missed that at the start.

I didn't do straps.
No need.
No norkage.

Oh Ann's fabric is beautiful...

Love Sandra's rebellion!

Haha coffee - surely even more reason to have straps, as mine hold my dresses up! :)

Ann was a little narked there

TunipTheVegedude · 16/04/2013 20:22

Humph. Well I think those ultra-fine rouleau straps would be horrible to wear, like string. The child would complain.
The one who did them flat was quite right though she was breaking the rules. You can tell Ann is pissed off too.

blueraincoat · 16/04/2013 20:23

I was thinking as they were making them, I hate those straps, they dig and look awful on my fat shoulders!

LetUsPrey · 16/04/2013 20:23

I want to live in the sewing room. The upstairs has sealed it for me.

Those dresses are beautiful.

Thanks for that link cofee - will take a look later.

Oh I'm worried for Lauren as I seem to remember snippets of her crying saying she didn't have enough material.

I think I'm going to give that dress a go for my girls (but with flat straps for non-diggage). I have the same fabric the judges showed on the mannequin too.

I reckon it's just two rectangles can't be arsed to search on t'internet just now ?

I agree flubba

Shesparkles · 16/04/2013 20:52

What the hell has Sandra done??

Shesparkles · 16/04/2013 20:55

Lauren and Ann for the final?

blueraincoat · 16/04/2013 20:55

It was awful wasn't it. Ann and Lauren in the final I reckon
