The dress is completed, pressed and ready to wear on Sunday!
I haven't seen a dress for me in a long time but it was pretty straightforward and without incident. I decided to add buttons up the front just to make a slight variation from the dress I copied.
I also added some new buttons up the front of a store-bought top because I don't like showing cleavage.
I also don't like rounded hems, so I cut this one off and hemmed it again! The weather has been so warm that this sleeveless top will be a popular choice! I do like to personalize almost every item I purchased to make it truly mine!
How about you? Do alterations give you the heebies or do you face it excitedly?
Super cute!!!
ReplyDeleteFun retro look to the dress! -Marsel
ReplyDeleteCute dress! I used to make dresses and aprons for myself all the time but confess that since Covid I find living in pj's is the way to go. If I have to go out in public, I have been known to pull a pair of baggy pants right over those pj's. Terrible, I know but oh so comfy....lol.
ReplyDeleteWhatever the point between heebies and excitement is is where I usually am.
ReplyDeleteLove the dress. I don’t mind alerting clothing to fit my tastes, but I haven’t actually made a garment in decades.
ReplyDeleteI do very minor alterations - and only when I absolutely have to!
