Short sequin dress

Wat heb ik toch gedaan met deze mooie jurk?
// What did I do with this lovely dress?

Spannend! Als deze uitleg te summier is, dan vind je hier meer uitleg. Taaaaaaadaaaaaaaaaaa
*trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

En wat denken jullie? Ik ben er erg tevreden over. Enkel de zoom is een beetje te stijf. Hopelijk wordt dit soepeler met wassen. En anders zal ik het los maken en tricot biais maken in de plaatst van voorgefrabriceerde katoen biais te kopen. Ik vind deze vaak erg stijf. Bij het wassen betert het meestal wel. Hopelijk ook bij deze jurk. Btw, valt het verschil tussen deze 2 foto’s jou op? Het lijkt me erg moeilijk om het niet op te merken. Ik heb een nieuwe camera gekocht. Er gaat een wereld voor me open. Heerlijk! Nu nog voldoende tijd investeren om alle hoekje en kantjes te leren kennen.
// So? What do you think? I’m pretty pleased with the result. Although the hem is a little stiff now. Hopefully it will get more flowy after being in the washer. Store bought biaistape tends to be very stiff in my experience. If it doesn’t look better after a few washes I’ll replace it by homemade knit biaistape. Btw, do you notice the difference in pictures quality? I did bought a new camera. Now I need to invest time to play with it.
Heb jij al eens een kledingstuk korter gemaakt?
// Did you all ready shorten a skirt or dress?

    wow – it was very fancy before, but it looks fabulous now, much lighter and much more wearable – and if you regret it, you can always make another maxi version – the advantages of being a sewer 🙂

      I’m very pleased with the result. And making an other maxi won’t be easy since the fabric is sold out. And finding pretty sequins in brown is very hard. But I’m happy, so no more sequins for now :).

    Wauw dit is echt mooi! Beide vooraf en achteraf! Allebei erg mooi, nu is hij wat draagbaarder voor dagelijks. Anders was hij echt exclusief en voor leuke, luxe party’s ofso 😉 Geslaagd!

    Zo is het weer een heel ander jurkje! Ik hoop dat je hem veel kan dragen en er nog veel plezier van hebt! De foto’s zijn mooi scherp zeg, ook de kleuren zijn veel sprekender.

    supermooi geworden! Ik vind de kortere versie leuker, veel frisser. Of misschien komt dat door de kwaliteit van de foto? 😉

    I’m sure short version is way more comfortable… I like both – before and after, but would definitely wear second one 🙂

    Ik vind de tweede versie precies nog toffer dan de eerste! Al is zo’n lange paillettenjurk ook wel fantastisch (praktisch… not so much :-))

      Thanks! I was heart breaking cutting my pretty long dress short, but I’m really happy I did it! I’m getting so much more wear out of it now. Still it’s hard to cut up my own “babies”. Thanks for organising project sewn. I really love it. If you are looking for contestants for the next season, please let me know where I can apply 🙂
