More 'Hello Dolly' patterns

I used the #126 pattern again, this time in a gold silk/lurex blend...I learnt from the first version and am a little more pleased with the gold version. I'm not sure that it's one I'll use a lot, though. The gown in the foreground is another 'Hello Dolly' pattern which needed a fair bit of tweeking...the first version had the bodice turn out too wide at the sides and not long enough, whilst the skirt part was also not long enough. The cummerbund was also not long enough, so what you see is the second draft, after I tweeked the pattern pieces. Me gusta mucho.
