and finally...

finally i am done with my very first dress and i am extremely happy with it. i really love this 60's print, it totally makes the dress for me! i am not so crazy about the dress style it is just a very simple shift dress and i definitely need a belt for it but for my first dress i think a did a pretty good job. my sewing skills will only get better from here...i hope :D

the dress pattern is # McCall's #8720 and the original pattern calls for an invisible zipper and i did it the invisible zipper for my mock up dress abut for this one i wanted to try an exposed zipper. i like that it adds a more modern feel to the dress. 

next i am doing a skirt that i downloaded for free from www.burdastyle.com if you haven't heard of this website it is really great! people post their projects as well as any alterations they tweaked on the original pattern, super helpful! well i am off to bbq with the mister and tomorrow is sewing sunday, yay!! enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

    Hi. I am looking at all the links posted on the Sew Weekly blog about her Gatsby dress and thought I'd check yours out. What a cute dress. I love the fabric print and the pattern. You did a good job.
