Walkaway Dress

Here's the finished dress. I had to check all the bias tape and hand-stitch it in a few places where it was coming away. In future I should also pre-shrink the fabric before sewing up anything where the fit is this close. On the whole, though, a much better experience than Junior High Home Ec.

Simply fabulous! I took the liberty of fiddling with the lighting in your photo to better demonstrate the pattern.



The hairdo goes perfectly with the dress too.

Not totally - it's a pseudo-'forties hairdo with a 1950s dress. #historical nitpick
