Day 176: Hemlock Dress

Happy Christmas Eve Eve, everybody (or whatever holiday you feel like celebrating or not celebrating!)!  🙂  I wasn’t feeling very celebratory when I first slipped into today’s dress.  :/

You’re looking at a dingy linen dress.  I couldn’t leave the color as-is, so I dyed it at the same time as my dress from Day 173!

I chopped off some of that awkward length.  It was looking a bit marmish.

Then, I hemmed that bottom raw edge!

After a quick press, my new dress was done!  🙂

I like how the color came out, but I was a little disappointed that the ropey things on the sleeves took to the dye so well.  I was hoping they’d stay white. :/  Other than that, I was really happy with this one.  Temps were at around 70 degrees (crazy warm…even for South Carolina!), so this lightweight frock was super-comfy! 🙂

Cheers!
