Birthday Gown Update

Thanks for all those helpful comments / suggestions regarding the Birthday Ball Gown. I started working on the gown right away and reserved the casual dress to be worked upon later (It is half complete! hope to wrap it up today!)

I agree with your input as to flowers or embellishments would only tone it up even further, so thought about it for a while, then it also stuck to me that shorter sleeves would probably bring down the bling (Here also i am happy that many readers thought on similar lines, so atleast i am on right track!), but Adithi wanted full length sleeves (it is her latest dress feature fetish now, long sleeves!) so i guess i can't comprise on that, suddenly it stuck me, what if i add a light colored lace bolero to tone it down!

Here is the dress with bolero, it has cowl at back neck!

Here is the Before and After Pictures

With the coat  / bolero                                                                                   Without the Bolero

Still would love it to have short sleeves, make be i can talk her into it, lets see!

BDay Ball Gown - Preview

Why is it a preview, actuall BDay bash is yet to happen, (scheduled for coming Friday, so more action pics, later), just wanted her to try to check the fit and the drape of the gown. quite happy with it... feel the center flower at front is bit off center...what do you think...

Feedback most welcome.... this must be the longest in terms of time taken for a single outfit..it has taken me 3 days to complete .... and another half a day today to add embellishments....

This dress was a Godzilla in terms of fabric used for my petite 4 year old (remember she turned 4 yesterday!!!)

total fabric used: 7.5 meters used (will give break up later,.... need to calculate the break up... : )  )

Design of it kept changing as i kept improvising while stitching... overall happy with the end result and she looked like an Angel which was my Objective...so Mission Accomplished .... :)

Here are the pics ....
