FUN FACTS ABOUT MY LATEST PROJECT:
The pattern I used simplicity 4055
I sewed the bodice, sleeves and buttonholes all by hand
Susie put my hair up and made me feel like a princess
Stephanie took my picture
Here's the front I made some changes to the sleeves and the bodice and added a waistband.
And the back
Closeup of the back. Added some ribbon to tie :-) Also, there's no elastic... somehow in the final fitting I ended up with too many inches in the back. It was too big so, rather than tearing the whole bodice apart I just gathered it in until it fit. I really liked the detail that the gathering added, so I was happy with it.
And finally, just some fun pictures!
This one is my favorite:

Are all the trees and where you got your picture taken, part of your yard? Cute dress!
Yes, Annie, that's our back yard. It's really pretty, actually. I love our yard. We have a woods in back. Well, it's not our woods but it's behind our house :-)
I like that last picture too! You actually look kinda Grecian...
The dress is really pretty. Do you have a fabric store closeby, or go to Wal-Mart? That color makes me want to make a pink dress myself!
Wow! We have a big tree line along the east side of our house, but it doesn't look as pretty as yours!
Kristi We have a JoAnn's about a half hour away. Usually, I go to Wal-Mart. It's funny, I'm not really a pink girl, but when i saw that fabric I knew I wanted it!
ooh, ooh! That's so pretty! I love it.
Personally, I think Sue has a gift of making any girl feel like a princess, hair or no.
Hi there!
I somehow stumbled across your blog and am glad that I did!! You are a WONDERFUL seamstress!!! Sewing is something I definitely want to learn in the near future. I would love to be able to sew a dress like the one pictured here!! Great job!
