It's Thurs (how did it get to be Thurs?!) and I am soooo close to being done with the dress. I have the sash-thing, sleeve and skirt hems, and buttons to attach and general finishing.
I am a bit concerned that the skirt will not hang as in the picture on the pattern cover.
The pattern illustration has a much shorter skirt, weird right?
I extended the skirt pattern piece to try and get the tea-length skirt of the cover illustration. But not being a pattern maker, I'm not sure my extension will hang around the lower leg correctly - the skirt may be too a-line....hum.
But none the less, it's almost done!! I will actually have made a dress from start to finish with matching purse in 5 weeks!!!! Woooooooo!

Oh look! It's La Rosa Vintage...I heart!!!!
Close up of lining. What else can I make with this fabric? I need ideas!!!
