Disappointed but not defeated (yet)


I went to so much trouble on this dress.  There's all kindsa hand stitching.  I even made a partial muslin (sort of...  I made the lining first to see if it would fit.  I resewed all the bodice seams when I realized I'd sewn them at 3/8" instead of 5/8".  I resewed those curvy princess seams that were all wonky.  I redid the neckline like three times to lower and even it....


And....
I can't lift my arms above my head.
Stay tuned for the sleeveless version.

Hopefully it'll be done in time for some Me Made May action (gah it starts tomorrow!  So excited!)
