I have very carefully sewed the two rows of feathers onto the bottom seam I think it looks really good already it still needs the see through underskirt as the dress is quite short.

I have started cutting out thew black taffeta pattern for the top of the dress! I still need to cut out black tafeta on the bias to cover up the feather line aswel!!

I think I will definatly get my dress finished on time. I was getting worried when I had only done the toile and how bad it looked compared to what it looks like now.

I have cut out the pattern, overlocked , sewed the seams, pressed it open. Also sewed up the lining. Only when i had sewed it up i was told it would need fusinng on the top of my dress! it took me all morning to unpick the seams and cut out the fusing, whole day wasted on something which i could have been told previously.
