I’m helping a kid I used to babysit get her dress ready for prom! This video was super helpful and I’m feeling much more confident now 😊

The mum is incredibly clever. The daughter is incredibly fortunate! Amazing patience!

[@carolhiller1112]

Oh my what a task, but most certainly a labour of love. Beautiful fabrics and what a lucky girl to have a clever mum ❤ Thanks for sharing Jo. ❤❤❤

[@tiadina4056]

Thanks!

I'd be afraid to sew with such a tricky and expensive fabric but the results are stunning. I wonder if some Fray Check would help with the threads on the edges?

[@joanneroberts1088]

I did think about it but couture all the way because the tulle is so delicate.

Do you reenforce the shoulder seams. I’m sewing an over top in beaded mesh. I’ve found your tips helpful, except for this concern

[@debbiecarter6430]

Amazing Jo. Your daughter looked beautiful. I’d love to know what fabric you top is made of if you have a minute. Thanks

[@joanneroberts1088]

It is an Art Gallery fabric from minerva in Challis. The pattern is Indigo from Tilly and the Buttons.
