This dress is my new favorite! I made it for Ben's wedding, and I think met all of my goals for the project. I was still sewing the buttons on a few hours before the wedding, but it was worth it.
This dress is a frankenstein combination of the bodice from the Cloud Dress ("Vintage" Vogue 2960) attached to a flared eight gore skirt (recently out-of-print Vogue 7910, view A). I'm amazed that I got the vertical seams to match at the waistline. Surprisingly, it wasn't that difficult!
The fabric was is my stash. It's a washable cotton so I wasn't worried about Henry barfing on it all night. This fabric has been in the stash for a couple of years. I don't even remember where I got it. It's a substantial cotton with a soft (brushed?) surface texture. It's more orangey-red than it looks in the outdoor photos. I have plenty left. I thought about making a matching jacket, but I didn't have that much time to work on it.

Ok, so I didn't get pictures of the dress when I wore it for the wedding. These pictures were taken the following weekend, in a rush to get pictures before the sun went down. Things are much more wrinkly and lumpy than they could be - never mind the stupid bra strap that is making an appearance in the picture. Just getting this project finished was a triumph. The fact that I was able to get pictures at all is truly amazing. Keeping up with a five month old baby is a challenge!

That is just beautiful! Well done on having such steady button hole hands!
This dress is so gorgeous, and you look stunning in it. Looks like you've got your body back after having the baby. Congratulations.
