Over Thanksgiving weekend I put in over 36 hours of sewing creating a ball gown. What a mess. Who knew that buying white fabric could be so difficult! The white silk I bought for the skirt in no way matched the white for the rest of the dress. The skirt white was blinding! The whitest white I ever came across. It didnt look that way in the store.
You might ask what do you do? Well I thought about a tea bath much to late to try that. I may still do that.
So what do you do when you realize on Friday night this isnt going to work at all?? Well, you take whatever remaining fabric you have and do not cut it but drape some overskirt. Yah...that's the ticket and hope no one notices what in the world is going on. Finish this up 25 minutes before the ball starts so forget about any further planned embelishment.
This is what you end up with............ you breathe a sigh of relief and go dance. What else can a girl possible do. The only other option is to stay home which is not an option.
