Sewing Update

[moon_custafer]

Skirt has been attached. I ran low on fabric, so it's a couple of inches shorter than called for in the original pattern. Looking at the photo again I see my waist seam is a bit crooked. May get lazy and just hide that with the belt and make sure the skirt comes out even when I hem it.

I am also going to omit the pocket this go-round as the fabric print is already a bit busy.

Like most dresses I've made from vintage patterns, it's very comfortable to wear, but the close fit and non-stretchy fabric make getting it on and off the hard part.

I could see pockets if it was a plain brown or plain blue, one of the tones in the pattern.

Heh, more than once I've been stood in a changeroom with a dress stuck half-on or half-off, my arms hanging out the top, thinking "Well, this is a fine mess."
