Dress Reconstruction the First - Update No. One
Okay, so, I got all the seams ripped out by the time I went to bed Tuesday night. Was out Wednesday through last night then out today for lunch. Which means I haven't had much time to work on the dress.
As you can see, I've removed the sleeves, the front panel and picked out the seams from the shoulders to hem. I also took off the flowers that decorated the centre front of the bust area and lowered the bustline.
Everything is pinned to the dress form right now, and it looks like I'd pictured. I'm in the middle of debating whether or not I want to add the front panel back on as I'd originally intended. I like the contrast of the black with just the strips of lace down the front. Plus, if I leave it off, it gives me some of the dress material to use somewhere else should I need it.
So, what do you all think? Keep the front all black as it is in the pic, or add the front panel back on?
