Something told me to order seven yards, but no I only ordered five and so after sewing pieces to my daughters dress I realized something… I forgot to cut out the piece to the front part of the dress! Of course, I didn’t have enough to finish the dress.
Yes, I went online and ordered a few extra yards, if everything goes like normal, I’ll have the remaining yards in time to finish the dress before Friday.
The finicky part (bodice) is over, so the remaining sewing will be cake.
If the material does not arrive by Thursday, I do have a backup plan. I’ll simply snag a few yards of fabric, in matching color from a local store; Jo Ann Fabric. Yes… I am laughing at my silly mistake!
LOVE the colors swirling together like that! Nice!

Thanks @Jennifer, My daughter picked out the fabric, love how there a few colors merged into one luscious fabric.

Q – Fingers crossed. Gorgeous colors. With 3 daughters, this post makes me relive a lot of memories of “fancy” dress making. One dress was velvet which I had to hand sew the zipper – never again!! LOL! My mom was a home ec teacher and had a PBS sewing program back in the day. It was hammered into me – prewash fabric! Unless it’s dry clean only. Can’t wait to see your daughter modeling the finished dress!
Thanks @Q, No sign of it yet, so I’ll be stopping my Jo Ann Fabric and picking up some satin in a peach. Thy good news is that the particular peach in the above fabric should be an easy match since I’ve seen a lot of that at my local fabric store. I also have the option of simply making her another dress with fabric I already have. We’ll see…
