Emerald Green Organza and Satin Dresses Combo

Burda 12/2013 #120

Burda 12/2013 #122C

Fabric: Tahari Stretch Satin Teal $4.78 UN-943 x 1.5 = $7.17
 118" Geneva Organza Teal $6.98 DZ-350 x 2.5 = $17.45

Lining: Polyester Lining Turquoise $1.39 UO-940

Notions: Gutermann Sew-All Thread 110 Yards (792) Forest Green $1.75 NR-709
20/22" Poly Invisible Zipper Oriental Blue $2.48 NR-2269 x 2 = $4.96
 
 
I love this dress combo! I decided to make it in fabrics that most resembled the first photo. The slinky satin number looks like something that might be best if worn with spanks.....
 
PROGRESS: Materials are ordered, and the Satin Dress is completed other than hemming (I can't make up my mind how short it should be).  Organza Dress is still just material in a box.

Black Taffeta Dress

Burda 12/2013 - Dress 130

Fabric: Stretch Taffeta Black $5.58 EE-803 x 2= $11.16

Lining: Polyester Lining Lilac $1.39 UO-938 x .5= $0.70

I love this dress as is, but to ever be able to actually wear it; it requires some modifications. Lower neck line (for breathing) and shorter hemline (for walking).

Fabric
Lining
 PROGRESS: Materials have been purchased, and most of the dress base is constructed. The over layer at the waist wasn't working for me (boobs can be a downer) so I have attached it directly to the skirt.
