Making and Wearing

I may not have yet achieved my dream of making all my own clothes but I have managed to make a pretty dress. I think the last time I made myself a dress was about ten years ago for my eighteenth birthday! The dress was poofyer than it looks in this photo, with lots of gathered fabric at the back. I was really happy with how it fitted and looked, very 'Mad Men' in my oppinion : ) The first picture is of me at the wedding on Saturday and the second is of my living room floor whilst making it. Hope you are all doing good and well. Thanks for all the nice and supportive comments on my last post. x

    This is a beautiful dress Jill. I have made some skirts and blouses, but never a dress. I'm sure you must have gotten many compliments while at the wedding!
