Its done, its done!!!
YAY! My first dress using a
modern pattern and modern fabrics.
Whew…it was challenging. I know some of you out there can knock out a dress like this
in a couple of hours but not me.
It took a while and I am not at all confident with these techniques.

| Front - full length What is that bump? |
That being said, it is definitely wearable! Which is really a plus since I do like
the fabric. I plan to give it a
test drive at an art gallery thing tonight.
What I did…in case anyone out there would like to know. All hems are done on the serger as a
rolled hem. The front lap was pick
stitched closed so there will be no wardrobe malfunctions but the back was left
as is. It is fully lined in a
flesh colored tricot. I gathered
the midriff in various spots and then sewed down some of the gathers to insure
this lightweight knit actually stayed gathered. It seams to have worked. Not sure what the bulge in the pictures is…probably just bad
styling.

I think I need another 1940s dress to relax with as next up in the queue.
