So here are the pics of the finished dresses. The linen one was taken out to Goodwood Revival on Friday with plenty of compliments from other members and stall holders! Very happy with it. It is paired with my gorgeous 1940 reproduction shoes from American Duchess and an original 1940s cordé handbag (complete with original coin purse!)
The satin one was supposed to be Sunday Goodwood outfit but a friend got married so rerouted there. Due to the nature of the satin and my lack of table space it was a pain to sew and took much longer than anticipated - finished it in the nick of time on Sunday morning. I ended up making the bodice the next size up but was too short on time to finesse the fit so it's not quite as perfect as I hoped.
Note to self - no more satin sewing until my sewing tables situation is sorted.
Pics! Not many as no one took pictures even though I asked so just have these three!
