Day 213: D’oh! Dress
How did this happen? Today I had a guest with me while I refashioned. Sara from Dateline Carolina chatted and snapped pics while I worked. It was fun talking with her about my process, but sadly I got distracted…and…completely forgot to take any before or during pics. :/
Just pretend it looked like this, okay?
Today’s dress began as being too big and frumpy. I liked the plaid print, and I loved that is was handmade. 🙂
I took in a bunch from the back, so I could hold on to this really neat side snap. I just don’t see these very much anymore, and I’d hate to get rid of it.
I like it!
In taking it in from the back, the collar ended up with an obvious raw seam, so I made a small panel to cover it up. No prob!
That raw edge is undercover! 🙂
I also took away some of that length, and turned it into a sash. Sadly, you don’t get to see any of that. 🙁
Fortunately, Sara was nice enough to send me a few pics. 🙂 Here’s me in action!
I know…it doesn’t look very action-packed.
I promise…I’m not sad! 🙂
Whirrrr!
I promise…it’s an improvement!
Later that night, I couldn’t believe that I forgot to take the flippin’ pictures! I consoled myself with copious amounts of Indian food. 🙂
Sorry, Guys! 🙁
I promise…I won’t let this happen again!
At least you have a nifty article to look forward to reading! 😀 I’ll be sure to share it with you as soon as it’s published!
I’ll never forget again! 🙂
Cheers?
