For many years, I have been wanting to make the dress for this challenge. I had the fabric, I had the pattern...but I was scared and did not want to mess up my one chance with this beautiful fabric.
I didn't want to back down on the challenge, so I got out the pattern...
And made the dress at last...
I am in love with this dress, even if it is see through and I had to shorten a slip specifically for it.
It's really fun to spin in as well!
Before I made the blue floral dress, I created this lovely number from the same pattern...
I call it my "Mad Men" dress, because I think Joan Holloway would rock this color.
I put on my sassy face for this picture.
And I finally finished another dress that had been hanging onto my mannequin, Emmy, for far too long...
And it came out something like this...I don't know why it looks like I am in pain because the dress is actually very comfortable!
The back neck needs fixing, but I may wait until closer to summer for that...
And now, for a much needed break and a treat of popcorn and m&ms!
