After a very long article about Miss Migonne #2\u2019s wedding guest outfit (here<\/a>), \u00a0it seems only fair to devote another blog post to her sister\u2019s. I promise it will be much shorter as the pattern\u00a0 – Pernette <\/a>by Citronille – and the changes I made are the same. Only the fabrics differ.<\/p>\n

Outfit negotiations lasted much longer with Miss Mignonne #1 than with Miss Mignonne #2. The choice of fabrics was very quick…<\/p>\n

… but the choice of pattern far less so. I was very keen on using Pernette<\/a>, as its understated style compensates perfectly the bling fabrics chosen by my girls (oh, I wonder where this comes from…). But Miss Mignonne #2 thought the shape of the dress was too triangular and therefore fattening. Oh well…<\/p>\n

I therefore offered to make a wearable muslin with 13cm of width taken off from each side: and with all the other changed I made to the pattern for her sister\u2019s dress, detailed here<\/a>. Here is the result:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I just love this dress, I wish I could steal it from her! I used a crepe fabric and a matching swiss dotted voile, bought last year from\u00a0Pretty Mercerie,<\/a>\u00a0initally for a dress for myself. But being a generous mum (and also being really aware of how fast my fabric stash is expanding), I passed it on…<\/p>\n

While we were assessing the right lenght of the dress before hemming, we both agreed an asymetrical bottom ruffle would be great – does it remind you of something<\/a>?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Once the (absolutely gorgeous, more than wearable) muslin was validated, I started working on the final dress. The embroidered tulle fabric chosen with enthusiasm by Miss Mignonne #1 needed to be fully lined, as it is completely see-through and very itchy. It also needed to be cut at the exact right lenght, to keep the border embroidery intact.<\/p>\n

A bit of a technical headache when you\u2019ve never done it to be honest… I studied in details one of my own shop-bought dress, similarly lined, and worked slowly step by step:<\/p>\n
