The afternoon was fabulously organised by Mel, who even had special name badges for us all to wear, complete with magnet fastenings so that our dresses weren't damaged.

It was about half:half familiar faces vs new-to-me people, so lots of fun catching up with friends and meeting new people.
Did you know we're already planning our next outing? So keep the 7th of September free for Frocktails, and keep a look out on Kat's blog for details (I'll link when she posts them, of course).
Details and proper photos of my dress will follow in another post, as it deserves a full post of its own!
Thanks for organising such a lovely afternoon Mel, it was awesome!!
PS: If you are planning on coming to Social Sewing next Saturday, please RSVP on this post.

ReplyDeleteThat's weird - I left a comment on here this morning but if doesn't seem to be showing up... Just wanted to say this is my favourite dress of everything you've ever sewn, it's beautiful and you've done your Gran proud. I'm really interested to see the construction process and any tutorials you have up your sleeve. Fab!
