A dress I'm working on has me stumped! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

This doesn't happen very often for me, but I'm actually stuck on what to do for this Tutu dress.

It's going to be one of my really full tulle ones like what Carla & Shinja had me do a few months back but the skirt will be Purple, then White & last Black. I picked up the Halloshimmer thread today in Joanns but I can't decide if I want to use block or cursive letters.

TIA for any input...I'm off to make the skirt.

A picture would help, huh?

I prefer a script lettering ! I think that would finish it off and make it stand out.

i agree cursive like i said on fb its petite and pretty like a chi

Thanks girls! Once I get back home & get the bodice done, I'll come show you how it looks.

My vote: Cursive!

I haven't forgotten ya'll!

When I took this project out of the hoop it is somehow off centered by about 3/4" so I'm remaking the bodice.

So here's the finished dress. I don't know if you can tell but I used a purple Halloshimmer thread for the Mascot.

Thanks again for everyone's opinions.

They're not hard...a bit of a pita but fabulous when you're done.

Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks Cindy! As silly as it sounds I stared at that first picture for a long time trying to decide which font to use.

I have tackled a couple of the ones without the bodice before and they turned out really well. Not sure I could accomplish a full dress. I'll leave that task up to You other ladies.
