It’s been a while

Those of you who have been following the saga of Hettie’s bridemaid’s dress will know that there’s a wedding in the offing. This Saturday, in fact! Over the course of the last couple of week’s there’s been much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth while we manufactured my wedding dress and Robin’s groom outfit. (There’s nothing like cutting it fine, is there?) But everything is finally hemmed and tweaked and just about ready. I won’t be posting for a few weeks, but look out for bumper posting on wedding outfits and pictures when I return!

As a parting shot, let’s have a little therapeutic eye candy and see how the professionals do big frocks. These pics are taken from the French magazine Qualite from 1946:
