This is exactly what happened to me when I suddenly thought of my dress, I stayed up thinking about it most of the night! Looking forward to seeing how you get on.

I have a habit of picturing things well, but am not necessarily so good at executing my thoughts, so will definitely need at least one practise run!<br /><br />Thanks for the confidence boost, though! :)Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06525020848581000170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209080131494479770.post-54758919092236469812013-02-14T09:37:18.880+00:002013-02-14T09:37:18.880+00:00This is definitely doable!

I think you've picked a gorgeous inspiration dress - it's such a stylish, timeless design that'll look as good today as 60 years ago.<br />Frankensteining is great fun, and I don't think you'd have any trouble with repositioning the zip to the side. The main thing I've found you have to watch is that there's enough room in the armhole-to-armhole measurement to still be able to get it over your shoulders (or hips, take your pick). Since it's a wide boatneck AND the back's lower, I don't think you'd have any problems. Maybe make a muslin though, to be on the safe side... <br />Looking forward to seeing it!Danielle Krivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10423009648089810339noreply@blogger.com
