Dress
So Ive been making my dress, Im not much of a sewer, so I first had to kind of teach myself a bit more of sewing. Ive been sewing almost nonstop for the past 2 weeks.
My original design I had to throw out the window, as it looked horrible on me. (I didnt finish it, I only made part of the bodice and realized quickly that it sucked) So I came up with an easier design, more attainable for my sewing and sizing skills.
At first I liked it, then I hated it, thinking it wasnt "anti" enough. And then I ran into this:

And realized my dress is fine. Nobody has a dress like it, and I made it all by myself, and I suppose thats kind of cool as well.
This is it, mostly done. I havnt sewn in the back zipper or hemmed the bottom yet. But I was finally able to wear it tonight. Ive sewn 10 practice bodices, 2 previous "final" bodices that I messed up on, and I make a trip to Joannes (fabric store) every day or every other day.
