Operation Easter Dress pt. 3 (final!)
Well, I have good news, and I have bad news...
The good news is that the dress is finished, it looks very nearly perfect, and fits wonderfully! (Plus, it's completion only required 2 trips to the fabric store- definitely a record. :) )
The bad news is that I'm a rather impatient seamstress, and couldn't bring myself to stop at a few points to photograph my progress. It probably would have been boring anyway. I spent a lot of extra time making sure it would hold up through the washing machine- the entire dress is lined and serged, and the top is actually double lined, so that nothing can come unraveled and you can't see any seam allowances through the chiffon. I'm not going to post a picture of the finished dress before Sunday, though, since that kind of defeats the purpose of waiting to wear it, but I'll post pictures asap afterwards!
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the week!
