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. :/

Day 176: Hemlock Dress 2 — I just don't look so great in white...:/

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!

Day 176: Hemlock Dress 3 — A dye bath for 2!

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

Then, I hemmed that bottom raw edge!

Day 176: Hemlock Dress 5 — Pin it. Hem it. Be done with it! 🙂

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

Day 176: Hemlock Dress 6 — With a stylin' vintage belt! 🙂

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! 🙂
