The break-up & make-up Garden Party Dress

Its finally done!  

I startet the GPD weeks ago. It was love at first sight when I saw it over at

 Honig Design. You can read more of this very bumpy making-of-a-dress here.

I startet from scratch a few days ago whit a new GPD and a new fabric. And this time I took it one size up and lost the arms ( will post when it is finnished).

Aaaanyway....

I had a nagging feeling that my relasionship to this dress was'nt quite over. 

So in the awaiting for a zipper for the next GPD, I took out my old "break-up".

I had to make it work! 

So I put in new darts in the back, just smaller, for a better fit, allso the armpits were waaaay to tight, so i put in gussets! That worked! And I sewed in a layer of fabric behind the seetrough lace. Because, well, you could se right in to my hoo-ha....

Thats and other thing, i feel the dress is way to short. But perhaps it will work great whit wool longies and boots?....

Anyways, i really like it, even though the inside looks like a warzone! But I have learned a great deal making this dress, and like I said, I am almost finnished whit a second;)
