Gertie's Bombshell Dress

I completed this dress in June to wear to my friend's wedding, but I probably started it over spring break, in March. Longest project ever, but I think I only worked on one-to-two videos a week.  At night.  After the boys went to bed.

All the details are on the Project page on Craftsy, and I'm not even remotely going to figure the cost of supplies.  : ) 

quilting/garment weight fabric

muslin

kona cotton for lining

spiral steel boning

boning casing

petersham ribbon 1" and 2"

1/4" ribbon trim for belt

super long red zipper

fabulous red heels to match

corsage, margarita, the ocean

It was worth it. :

The bride was beautiful, the groom was handsome, and the mariachi band was superlative.  : )
