I have a PERSONAL TAILOR.
I could get used to this. The possibilities!

Step one: Deconstruct. Step two: Reconstruct


Step 3: Try on, make adjustments... repeat! :)

(dress is in-side-out)

After church Jess got sewing again and finished 'er up!


We failed to get a before shot! :( But won't for the other ones. He took in the side seams, the shoulders and the back- so he had to re-do the zipper. I was thoroughly impressed.

So here is the finished product.

Shauna- Yes. Bodie took the pics I am in. I took the ones of Jess. :)

Courtney- I have no idea. I THINK he took lessons when he was younger... He said he wouldn't be able to do it from a pattern, but taking things in, no problem. :)

LOVE the dress!!! Great job!! That is one of my favorite things to do--re-vamp clothes!!! Isn't it great to have a hubby who can sew? I can too, but Tyler is WAY better than me!
