Overlocking everywhere

So today ive finished my silver dress! yay

I can also say that I have 3 bottoms now, so im getting closer to having a collection! The finished garments will be up tomorrow but for now I can show you the sewing pile!
I have a big list of things I need to sew once ive changed the sewing machine and over locker to black thread!
So I've also started working on this vintage night gown trying to reshape it to be an elegant evening dress. So far I have added darts to the back and some pleats to the front whereby I will be adding a strip of gold binding to cover the stitches where the pleats will be secured. I am also going to add gold buttons all the way down the front in keeping with the metallic theme.
I am yet to decide on the length of the dress, to keep it full length or crop it to a high low skirt. I am also still working out the lace on the neckline, I feel like it is too vintagey and need some brightening up. So I may decide to spray it with or embellish it, there is also the option of getting rid of the lace all together.


Ah decisions, decisions!
