Operation Jamaica Dress


         So it looks like decided how to quench my sewing needs have been taken out of my hands. My best friend is a bridesmaid in a destination wedding in Jamaica. It is in about a week and a half. She got her dress today. It is a hot mess. It is bluish-green with a hazelnut reddy brown. It has made by a seamstress who obviously didn't understand the finer points of dress making for full figure women.

         First of all, there is this thick, stiff satin under dress, it is topped with two crepe layers, making the sides jut out horribly. There are molded cups under rouching that you can see and looks horrible. It is a halter and my God it covers nothing, so she has to hike it up making it look like she has small breasts and no waist, which is not the case. She is very chest and cinched in. It is too big in the back and droops. Obviously it needs a lot of work and I will likely be doing all the alterations before she leaves Wednesday. This is going to be fun!!!!
