Mia’s International Intrigue II

If there is one thing we are used to in the workroom, it is a student showing up with something like this:
“I’ve been invited to a formal wedding in Shanghai in two months!  Can we get a dress made?”

Sometimes it doesn’t work out, but this time everything came together perfectly.

Mia used Butterick #4343 in a silk noile with silk charmeuse lining.  It turned out great!

This was right before we made a final pressing and set the hem, but overall it is a good pattern if you want an interesting fitted one-shoulder dress with princess seams.

We are still waiting for pics from the wedding.  As soon as she gets them to us, we’ll post those as well.

UPDATE:

The first of the wedding pics is here!  Here is a good time being had in a dress made at Tchad!
