Harry Potter makes me want to sew…

I went to see the new Harry Potter movie tonight (part 1 of the Deathly Hallows). I thought it would be a night of relaxation, but as soon as I saw two of the dresses worn during the wedding scene in the movie,  I just thought, “How can I make that?”

Hermione Granger’s red dress is the perfect color and very feathery-looking, but my favorite was the yellow dress worn by Luna Lovegood.

In the movie, I only remember seeing the bodice part of the dress (I love that round-necked part of the dress), but after looking some more online for pictures of the dress, I see that it has ruffles all the way down.

I need to have a dress like this. If not the ruffles, at least the top part, which I fell in love with. It sort of reminds me of this childrens’ round-neck top that I have from Etsy, but how can I make it for an adult…this
 was the closest that I could find, or perhaps this dress from Serendipity Studios and just add the yoke to the top. Hrm…I’ll have to think about this one.

    I loved the dresses too! Such a good movie 🙂

  2. I can see how those dresses would inspire you. I was relieved that neither of my girls felt compelled to go to the midnight showing. I love my sleep… guess that means I am getting old!
    I was very excited to receive your pattern in the mail yesterday! I will be making it and blogging about it soon.
    Good luck with the dresses, can’t wait to see your creation!

    Thank you for visiting my blog Sara. I just saw Harry Potter yesterday and I loved it. I don’t really remember Luna’s dress from the movie but it sure is beautiful. I definitely noticed Hermione’s.
