Yes, I'm AR when it comes to matching fabric. In real life
you can actually see the buttons, in that picture they
pretty much disappeared. The CB is centered on the same
part of the print and the sleeves line up horizontally and
have the same portion of the paisley along *their* centers.

Thanks for posting these. The construction is perfect as usual and you
look great in it. You made a good choice in the pattern and the fabric.
I like the button loops. I used similar loops for the bridesmaids'
suits for my own wedding.
I particularly enjoyed browsing through the wedding dresses you have
made. It was fun to see how each one fits in its era.

The fabric worked well, in spite of having been described as
"peachskin". Really its more of a medium weight crepe.

Claire Shaeffer has a couple of really good books out, her
process for making tubes/spaghetti straps/loops is one of
the best methods I have ever seen.

Thanks, I am hoping to make this site useful as well as just
a place for sharing my pictures.

YAY!!!!!!!!!! It's gorgeous and looks lovely on you. Another very
fine job well done. And no, I couldn't see the CF opening. When you
say match the print, you mean it!! lol

Did you notice that the sleeves were matched horizontally
along the same motif? Yeah, I'm O/C....
