I think I just need to take in the blouse a bit more as it's a smidge too big, but other than that, it's perfect! I've very proud of myself, especially as this was the first thing I'd sewn since Year 8 sewing class (we made aprons). I even did the buttons and invisible zip myself! Now I've built up my confidence somewhat, I'll make my next dress in a heavier fabric. I specificially chose cheap cotton for this dress just in case I didn't like sewing, or I screwed up royally along the way.
While I was sewing, Jeeves (the bearded dragon) was frantically digging in his enclosure. Someone ought to tell him you can't really reach China that way. He's a cutie though...

It turned out beautifully!! The cap sleeve is perfect too. I think that you will find that sewing is incredibly addictive! I have about 6 sewing projects going on all at once most of the time! You can find a lot of pretty vintage buttons on etsy. I like to use them when I sew from vintage patterns to give it more of an authentic feel. Keep up the great work!! xoxo
very nice - I like it, wish I was as clever :-)
Thanks Brittany and Amy!
Brittany, I think I am finding sewing addictive! I wish I had another project to start right away, but I have to wait for my new pattern to arrive from the States.
I might hunt down some vintage buttons for this dress, as I just used some my mum had lying around. Another thing I had trouble finding was a suitable belt buckle. I'm still not satisfied with that, so I'll keep hunting!
It's beautiful!
