Tada! And you thought I was one of those girls that starts a bunch of stuff, yet never ever finishes anything.
Well I am. This is a fluke.
This is the dress that I made for Sophie's Wedding. It looks a lot whiter than it is (I know, wearing white when it isn't your wedding is a faux pas) it's really a cream color. And I'll be wearing a blue sweater, blue sash and brown heels, so there will be a bit more color. I just wanted something light for the Texas weather. I actually finished this in one day, which is unheard of for me. I usually take about 4 months.
The arm pits are still a bit big, however, so I'll have to nip the sides in a bit. Any suggestions? I worked so hard on the lining so that it looks nice and neat, but I'm thinking just serging up the sides will be just fine. I know no one will see it, but I like little details, like the lining being just perfect as it is now. Also, when I think about how much WORK it would be to seam rip the WHOLE THING just to tuck in an inch or so----I think I'll just use the serger. Again, any suggestions?
