Wow how the days seem to fly by. I'm not going to make it. I will be two dresses short this month. The dress I thought would end up not working turned out okay. I haven't heard anything so I will assume it was all good. The bow and flower are pendants so she can decide what look she prefers. I like the bow!
I wasn't sure what to do for the back. I knew a zipper would be a pain with organza so I did a key hole and topped it off with a vintage button. I think Sahara approved.
I always say I want to hear from my customers, but sometimes it is better not too. I received a call about this purple dress and the straps are too long for her. I messed up the sash should of been green. She didn't like the bows :( I liked them. She doesn't like the look of the dress being at the natural waistline. I don't think I can fix that. .
She wasn't happy with the petticoat and I tried to make it so fun! She is sending it back. I really hate disappointing my customers! I feel so horrible
Does anyone recognize the pattern I used for this little dress? I have three to make. This one is almost done, another is almost done so one more to go. I will be shipping these out by April 30th! I have another of this same dress and the green dress with bolero. I won't be ruining any weddings with those not meeting my goals. The green dress she needs by the end of May...Oh May stay tuned. I thought April was bad!
Three days left...maybe I will suprise myself and get one extra one done!
That is sad she didn't like the dress, I really like the little bows and the petticoat is really sweet (is anyone really going to see that anyway.) I'm not sure it would work with a green sash but maybe it just depends on the shade.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about the purple dress. I know what you mean about wanting to please your customers. I think it is an attractive dress. It just comes down to personal preference really. Did she want it longer in the waist or shorter?
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog for awhile now and I love watching your insspired sewing projects and I admire how you fearlessly write about it all- the good and the bad.
Keep on sewing. Every effort is a success -either now or in the future from the knowlege gained.
Thanks for your comments...they keep me going.
ReplyDeleteThe petticoat was not full enough she wants more tulle. What a pain in the *ss that is going to be.
After she tried it on she was hoping I could do a lower waist. I only have a small amount to play with because I use a serger. I will try to take out the stitches from the midriff section but I doubt it will lower it enough to be worth effort.
