As those who follow me on Instagram will have probably guessed, we have an important wedding coming up<\/b>. And sewing part of the family\u2019s wedding outifts – in particular the girls\u2019 – has been top on my priority list.<\/b><\/p>\n

Long gone are the times when I could just chose whichever pattern (Citronille mostly), fabric (Liberty for sure) and accessories (pink bows most likely) I liked without much consultation – here is a picture of this blessed era…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, I know that my girls will still accept willingly to wear a dress – the results of many years of them having not a single pair of trousers in their wardrobe, like their mummy! But I also know that they will have to be deeply involved in pattern and fabric choice<\/b> – yetr another excuse to expand my fabric stash…Here is what I suggested they could choose from:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Appart from the embroided blue fabric, which I brought back from Thailand, all these beauties come from a trip to Paris<\/b>\u00a0last year with my best sewing friend and partner in crime Laure. \u00a0I introduced her to\u00a0Bennytex\u00a0<\/b><\/a>and she was as carried away as me, not sure it is a good excuse…<\/p>\n

So at the beginning of September, I and the girls chose the fabrics and here are the results – I am so proud of my girls, as bling as their mummy in their fabric choice!!\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

This is Miss Mignonne 2\u2019s choice:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

… eand Miss Mignonne 1\u2019s:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With such… well, high visibility fabrics, I though (or rather Mister Mignon strongly suggested) that we should go for a sober pattern. Within my (ever expanding) pattern library,\u00a0Pernette by Citronille<\/a>\u00a0seemed to fit the bill. It is a very simple shift dress, slightly triangular, with a colar which can easily be removed and with sleeves – always useful at the end of October!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Miss Mignonne #1 wasn\u2019t convinced by the dress shape but Miss Mignonne #2 was thrilled, I therefore started working on her outfit<\/b>. Given the quantity of party fabric I had bought, I thought I could completely afford to make a wearable muslin in a nice fabric. I therefore use the pink and gold brocart which looked so similar to the red and gold she had chosen.<\/p>\n

I made quite a few adjusmtents to the original pattern:<\/b><\/p>\n

– I\u00a0removed the collar and made the neckline deeper at the front and at the back;<\/b><\/p>\n

– I got rid off the zip<\/b>, as the dress now could be put on without;<\/p>\n

– I lenghtened the skirt by about 15cm<\/b>, as Miss Mignonne has long legs and we both prefer longer dresses anyway;<\/p>\n

– I shortened the sleeves by 17cm<\/b>, so that they would be 3\/4 rather than full-lenght;<\/p>\n

– I struggled but managed to create more room around the armpit<\/b>, as I had completely forgotten this was a key problem of this pattern;<\/p>\n

– I lined the entire dress<\/b>, as metallic fabrics are so unpleasant to wear and this one was definitely very itchy unlined;<\/p>\n

And here it the test dress, completely wearable:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After this, I immediately started the final version of the dress and obvisouly it was so much easier the second time round!<\/b>I inserted gold piping at the neckline and at the sleeves but otherwise no more changes. I am thrilled by the result and so is my sweet daughter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As I did not want this dress to be hidden under a big winter coat, I had in mind to sew a cape. <\/b>And\u00a0<\/b>here <\/b>too\u00a0<\/b>Miss Mignonne #2 fully validated the project. I toyed with the idea of self-drafting a pattern but quickly came accross Vanessa Pouzet\u2019s children\u00a0cape<\/a>\u00a0pattern<\/b>, so reasonably priced and so easily sewn – in less than two hours job done (this include purchasing the pattern and assembling all sheets, on top of the actual sewing). I used a fully man-made\u00a0fabric from Coupons Saint Pierre.<\/a><\/b>\u00a0I would have preferred wool but for one day of wear I think it will be OK…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now working on her sister\u2019s outfit, where more intense negotations are needed… I\u2019ll keep you posted!<\/p>\n
