Making a dress… part 3

I picked up the almost finished samples of the dress today.  Michelle from my sample room did a great job with the finishing.  Basically I brought her the original dirty, pinned, tacked, unlined sample that barely made it through a runway show, a music video and a selling season.  Not only did Michelle perfect the fit and the trim details way better than my limited sewing skills could have allowed, she also lined the dress so there’s no risk of seeing your bright orange laundry-day panties through it now!

All that’s left to do is make the corded necklace that finishes off this sample and they’ll be ready for their debut at International Playground this weekend!
