Wendy\u00b4s dress for the Peter Pan show is in the making. I wanted to move away from the white, and the pale blue is already used by Disney. So I thought I\u00b4d use peach, a warm color for a warm character. 4 meters of crepe de chine silk and a roll of peach-colored lace later\u2026<\/p>\n

I\u00b4ve got the gown ready for fitting. The design is inspired by a 1910 gown,&amp;nbsp;but even though I made a pattern, sometimes it\u00b4s a lot of making it as you go along. Very much so in this case. I was regretting the silk before I started, thinking it would be very difficult to sew in, it felt so alive!<\/p>\n

Luckily I was proven wrong! It turned out pretty great. Appliqu\u00e9ing the lace with zig-zag-seam on my household Bernina, and sewing the pieces of the skirt together with my overlock\u2026 smooth as a kitten! I left little slits open between the parts, it\u00b4s only held together with the lace. The actor is going to be very active, so I\u00b4m hoping this is not a mistake.<\/p>\n

Talking of mistakes, I already made one. The iron on a little too hot, and the polyester-lace melted! It\u00b4s not like I didn\u00b4t know. However it was easy to just cut away the broken part and replace it with a new one.<\/p>\n

Ready for fitting: the arms are too wide, but I want to see it on her before I decide how much to take them in, and maybe also shorten them a bit. The neck-line is not completely finished either, I might need to make the opening a bit wider. But we\u00b4ll see in a couple of weeks when she tries it on. Everything is cut on the bias, so it should follow the shape of her body.<\/p>\n
