The Wedding Suit - Final Post

I am really happy to have finished the suit!  I am happy with it, although, the only thing I'd change is to take in the waist just a little bit more.  I'm not going to worry too much about it at this point!

I do apologize in advance for the lack of details in the photos.  Photographing a black suit with a black top isn't easy.  For the construction posts, I had the flash in my favor, so the fabric looked like a grey, which is great for showing details, but not showing the color.

Back:


Without jacket, front and back (no I'm not really that bored, just waiting for the photographer!),



Tomorrow:  final post before leaving for Salt Lake City!  In case you thought I might have forgot about the Vintage Shirt of the Month, I haven't!  Yes, you will get to see this month's all finished tomorrow.  I cut it out at the beginning of the month, and it was the last lonely thing on my ledge waiting to be sewn.

Parting Shot:  High Up.  Miss Kiwi has found a new sleeping place, high up on my shelves.  Wellie likes to get up there too, and he's not too happy when she's up there.  Sigh.  Just like children, always have to have what the other has.

It is hard to see the details but easy to see that this fits you perfectly. Have a great trip.

it's hard to decide whose little cat paws I like the most. I think Kiwi wins. YAY! (well second to Si's)

Thank you for sharing the details of the suit. I learn so much from your posts. The suit looks great--fit, everything. Have a wonderful time at the wedding.

Beautiful work as usual! As far as the waist being a bit big, with a day of wedding/dinner/dancing, a bit extra room may be welcome by the end of the day.

Fabulous suit--but also separates! You will look lovely at the wedding and I'm sure you will enjoy all of the pieces in the months to come. Have a great trip and congratulations to your family on the upcoming wedding!

Very nice suit. Where it with good spirits. Also, I really like the idea of cutting out all of the projects for the month and having them lined up, ready to go. Now, if I could just get to the blouses I cut for June....

Have a safe trip! FYI, it is HOT here and I-15 is a bit of a mess (they're reconstructing bits of it). Downtown SLC is also a bit of a mess due to construction, but the weather has been nice and clear and the big state holiday (Pioneer Day) is over. I hope you have a lovely time!

I love these pieces together and it's a beautiful suit! I especially love the red shoes that you chose to wear with it.

Lovely. Fabulous fit as always!
Would love to see a "flash" picture of the top. I'd like to see how the lace, over the knit, looks.
