Three Floral Dresses for Bridesmaids

So here are the three floral dresses! I love them. Some of you may recognize the pattern.
 I especially like the piping detail. I have twelve more of these dresses to make this month. For five I will be using Kaufman dark green sateen. For the seven bridesmaids there will be four coal and three a lighter gray. I may have that the opposite. Yes I will double check prior to cutting. I will be using Kaufman Kona cotton for those. I just contacted her about using the piping & for the coal dresses using the lighter gray & for the lighter gray the coal. I think it would add more contrast and a little drama. If not she won't hurt my feelings if she says no. They also want to have removable adjustable spaghetti straps. I think that will be really cute.
 These dresses are fully lined and underlined/boned in the bodice. They also have two front pockets if you can't tell from the picture. Super adorable. Now all I have to do is wait and hope they all fit :) I'm really surprised I don't have an ulcer from the stress.
Now I better get back to my cutting. Making the green dress with black bolero again. I probably wont post it because how many times do you all want to look at it lol.

    I love sewing, but after doing the same thing a couple times i get bored. and move onto a different project... hence the reason my "boutique" shop ended up going a different direction. HAHAHA.

    keep up the fantastic work!

Decisions

With limited fabric this dress will definitely be an extra small. I’m working with the lining because I’m anxious to see how it will come to...
