So I finished the dress from the list, and of course yesterday I wore it to church. I think people are starting to expect me to show up in dresses that make me look like “Little Bo Peep”.
This one I thought had a sort of country flair to it, maybe that explains why someone called me Dorothy again. Guess I shouldn’t have paired with that woven straw purse. I use a floral print I got at Goodwill, it was only a dollar, so cool. The print seems a little busy to me, at least from a distance. To balance that, I kept the embellishments simple with tiny bows and eyelet lace on the hems and such.
I added some shirring on the back for ease, I think I am getting better at doing it. In fact, I think I have greatly improved in dressmaking since my first one. I finished this one super quick, maybe it is about time to make more elaborate dresses. The problem is that if I made a more elaborate (i.e. Frilly) dress, would I still wear it?
Here’s the updated list:

I love that you got called Dorothy. I'd take it as a compliment, personally.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I do think it was meant as a compliment both times, considering who it was who said it. I'm not entirely sure about the "Bo Peep" comments though.
