Having successfully completed the zig zag quilt for Alexis and Ed, I just couldn’t let the obsession go. I can’t take credit for the construction of the gorgeous dress that follows, because I mostly just sat in a rocking chair and talked while Suz did the sewing. But, i looove it, and can’t wait to wear it somewhere special!
First: The original dress and inspiration on Anna Maria Horner’s blog.
Second, the finished dress! Can you believe how close it is to the original? She did SUCH an amazing job. The craziest part is that there was no pattern for the dress, so it’s kind of a modification and a hodge podge. I love that Suz is always up for a challenge. Do you think it’s fancy enough for a beach wedding? Comments welcome!
