Caplet - Muslin


So Gina and I have been discussing the possibility that it might be a bit chilly at the wedding dependent on the weather.  Therefore, we have been talking about creating a type of cover to go over the top of the dress to keep her warm.  I've created a muslin of the idea that we talked about - so when Gina comes up for her fitting this weekend, she will be able to try it on - then if it is the correct size - I will be creating it out of the leftover silver and lace fabric.  My plan is to have the "outside" edge to be the silver and lace - while the inside and underside of the top I plan to do in a fuzzy warm fabric to help keep Gina warm. I thought it looked super cool, and elegant - but different then the normal.  It is actually created out of one large circle, then has two armholes in it - and the top of the circle folds down over the shoulders to create the little cape look.  Should be fun!
