Bustle gowns... ALL DONE! Well, mostly.
I cut my dress out around 11am on Thursday morning. Finished it Saturday morning when I threw on the collar as all the bridesmaids were getting dressed before the ceremony. I didn't have time to press with the iron any of the seams, so it looks awful, especially the skirt.
Also never got around to making the little peplum, or trimming it out in red satin ribbon like the original. So, my dress is TO BE CONTINUED!
Jamie's and Nika's dresses behind the
Jamie's wool and velvet traveling gown, thrown on quickly the night before the wedding, and without using her bustle support (it doesn't look right without it, gah):
I stupidly forgot to get a picture of Nika by herself in her bustle gown that I made, so this one will have to do, with all the bridesmaids:
Not sure why everyone is staring at me like that! Nika is wearing the light blue dress. Another one of Jamie's bridesmaids is wearing her traveling gown- though it didn't quite fit. And the curly-haired girl sitting down on the end is wearing one of Jamie's 1860s cotton print dresses that I made her last year, which I modified to be more 1870s... but the girl is thinner than even me, and the dress was swimming on her. She didn't want another one, though, so we just kept to that one.
Jamie, the bride, is wearing that lovely white dress with the blue trim.
The groom?
Me and Tom, in all his 1870s army glory.
And Andy put together a German 1870s uniform for it, so here's the two of us:
Finally, Jamie and I, in the B&B after the reception, very tired, but still smiling.
Evening bodice! Our friend Laura made Jamie's dress, it was beautiful.
