January Sewing Is Done!

I finally finished the dress.  In plenty of time to wear to grandma's 90th birthday party!!  I promise to have MUCH better pics of the dress at a later date.  In the meantime, you will have to settle on what I could do, while two little rug rats took turns playing fashion photographer.

Now, onto the deatails.  I used simplicity pattern 2925 view A.  It was a pretty easy pattern to follow.  I did leave out the ties but may add them on later. I also changed up the neckline just a little.  I made bias tape out of the material I was using and decided to use that on the neckline instead.  Otherwise everything went as written. The material was a drapy blend of rayon with 2% spandex for some stretch. Love a little give in a dress.  So nice when sitting. I have stated before and I will say it again.  A mom must have pockets! They come in handy when you least expect it.

Overall I like how it came out.  It would make a VERY comfortable dress if done in a more casual fabric.  Could see another one of these or a little different version being made in the future.  Will try and  post pics from the party and of the entire outfit put together.
