Susan,
posted: 5:44 pm on February 9thI'm always looking for your articles in Threads, and the jacket is exceptional. I was going to email you, but this is so much more fun. Of course your classes, are not only the best hands on learning experience around, but you make them so much more. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and hope to see you soon for the French Jacket classes.
Re: Wedding Dress with Alencon Lace
Thank you for your kind comments. This was truly a delight and my daughter in law was so patient with the many fittings. All the fabrics & lace were from G-Street Fabrics in Rockville, MD. I order the silk organza by the bolt as I use this quite a lot. The corselette was made separately from white muslin using steel boning. The closures were hook & eyes that also came from G-Street. These heavy duty closures ensure a snug fit and come ready to sew in the garment. The dress literally hangs off of the corselette, allowing it to flow beautifully. Hope this helps.
