Mission Accomplished...

It rained pretty much all afternoon today, so I had no choice but to finish the dress.



After a quick try on it was obvious that the wide collar did not work. I also must have lost a little weight since the move (being too poor for beer and chocolate and walking everywhere will do that to a girl,) so I did some creative gathering, pleating and darting and came up with this.





I'm pretty happy with it! The "test wear" will be tomorrow...

  2. It looks wonderful. It would look great as a blouse too. I hope you are in more money soon for beer and chocolate.
