This navy dress was my prototype for a dress commissioned by a friend. It had been sitting in my mending pile for months. I finally fixed it yesterday and it is now ready to wear to church once again.
Wearing a dress that I made myself is so satisfying. And seeing others in a dress I've made for them always makes my heart beat a little faster. I am thankful for these skills that I learned early on, and for the years of practice between then and now.

ReplyDeleteI like your version better than the Prada!
ReplyDeleteYour hair is epic! I can't wait to sign Coco up for sewing lessons. Maybe she inherited Elaine's skills, via adoption or something :)
ReplyDeleteum wow! your hair. the dress is awesome too. you are a very talented seamstress.
ReplyDeletelove the dress-like the low waist and the pockets. Want to make another one if I get the material????? Your hair is beautiful so glad you let it grow long. Love and Hugs

I agree with all the other ladies. Your hair is fantastic! Do you have layers? Long 'bangs'?
ReplyDeleteYeah Stephanie.... we all want to have you make dresses for us. Actually. I have a skirt that I love the fit and would like to have it in a different color. Cannot find one like it any where. How does one go about hiring you?
ReplyDeleteLooks great!!- and yes, your hair, wow! Want to share how you achieved that look?
ReplyDeleteI too will be forever grateful for Ms. Faylen my 7th grade sewing teacher (looking backwards i can't believe my Jr. High still offered a sewing class- must have been late 80's or early 90's)
You look so pretty, Steph! I am pretty sure your hair has grown four inches since September. Love you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beautiful!! Would you mind sharing if you used a pattern for at least a starting point for this dress? Would love to make myself one once this big pregnant belly of mine is back to normal! :)
ReplyDeleteyou are so naturally beautiful! very talented seamstress, too! :)
ReplyDeleteyay for that outstanding dress. i feel so lucky to own two stephanie/prada dresses. my navy one will be in next year's christmas card -- yes, i'm that nutty that i've already planned 2014's christmas card photo shoot. :D i, too, am grateful for the skill of sewing my mother taught me. i'm no where near as talented as you are, but i can throw together a few halloween costumes and skirts and that makes me happy.
