j_cheneyOK, I never know what's going to 'hit' me in a movie. Sometimes I watch perfectly good movies and come out not caring. Other times I fall in love with the one I wouldn't expect....
I watched four movies yesterday while sewing (and may I reiterate here how much I despise sewing on georgette). The Namesake was a good movie, although I dont know that I'll watch it again. Fantastic 4...meh. No Reservations was pretty much exactly as billed. Again, probably won't watch it again.
27 Dresses? For some reason, I loved this movie. Since I wasn't done, I watched it again. (I have the ability to do that....watch movies over and over and over.) I'm not certain exactly what it was the made the movie click for me, but this is one I'll definitely buy when I next find a copy for $5.

After a fruitless search, through many catalogs, my bridesmaids were all well into their twenties and NOTHING was suitable, I had my bridesmaid's dresses made. Simple A-line seamed gowns in a deep gray matte satin...Fully lined, and yes, they were most definately worn again. One to the ballet, and one to the theater, (opening nights, both). Looked great with pearls...
So what's your trick in sewing georgette without puckers. I used tissue and it helped. But I just bought my dress for a wedding in August. Slip type with georgette overlay and a matching georgette jacket. You could make the thing for what I paid for it, on sale.
