Here's a view of the back, so glad I decided I was too short for the full length dress and went for the tunic option. I did have a few hiccups today, mainly when I stitched the lining to the exterior the wrong way round...there were a few sharp and unrepeatable words said and then I calmly got out the seam ripper and started all over again.
And so for a close up, I changed the fabric for the upper bodice and am glad I did as think it goes much better, I also used ready made binding to do the sleeves (naughty I know but I was too eager to finish and I had it to hand).
I'm off to enjoy a gin and tonic in my new and most favourite dress!
Well done! No wonder you're so happy, it look fabulous :-)
ReplyDeleteThe dress looks fab - was it easy to sew? I agree you have chosen the right length. Enjoy the gin and tonic - well deserved. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you both!
ReplyDeleteIt was easy to sew, I was pleasantly surprised! I'm going to try the cami next without the sleeves which I think will be interesting as haven't done button holes before and not sure how the sleeve edges will be finished. I will let you all know though!
