Back in January, I was commissioned by a customer to make several doll dresses, replica of the dresses Kate Winslet wore in the movie Titanic. This customer told me I could pick any of the dresses but she wanted as many as I could handle. She was going to have someone make backgrounds from the movie and pose the dolls in front of them then do a YouTube clip on them for the 100th anniversary.
Unfortunately, the backgrounds didn't turn out as of yet and this customer has posted about the dresses anyway. She's given me permission to also post them now.
As I made each one of these dresses, it was extremely difficult to let them go. Each one took me between 2-3 full days to complete. No offense to this customer but she really did get a bargain. One day, I will charge what other people are getting for their one of a kind items.

Well Terrie I have to tell you that I remember every single one of those dresses as I have seen the movie many, many, many times!
You did a beautiful job as usual and I'm so glad that we were able to view them. I actually can see Kate Winslet in each gown! Great job!
Love Di ♥
Holy Cow, Terrie! You are Amazing! I just kept thinking "Oh, oh I love that!" As I scrolled down. Your sewing has got to be a combination of skill and magic!
Terrie, you have always been such a great seamstressas long as I have known you and that is a LONG time! These are so pretty and perfect right down to the detail. Well done, you are so talented, where do you come up with your ideas for the fabric and patterns? I am so impressed.
Hi Penny, To answer your question about where I came up with the patterns and fabrics, I drafted my own patterns and for the fabrics, I studied several websites that gave both information and photos on the different gowns that were worn in the movie. Then, I scoured fabric store after store and online stores as well, to find the fabrics that matched.
Thanks for the compliments, everyone! They mean a lot to me.
Terrie
