Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about June! I'm just a few steps away from completing it, but I can at least write July's intro post in the meantime. The blog link to this post is here.

Roo, Christina, and I are testing out a potential pattern for Roo's wedding dress, specifically this Vintage Vogue pattern. Another friend had made this dress

You are going to be shocked at the yardage requirement for that skirt, so I wouldn't get too crazy with the plan before you make it. I started with 7 yards of green silk, and ended up with scraps. And I didn't make a single cutting mistake.

Dress A in my size only calls for 6 yards, though, so I think I should be covered even if I only use the green fabric. But, good to know that there's not going to be any room for error with the cutting!
