Bridesmaid Dress

I discovered that, when sewing, I need my reading glasses far more than I do when I'm reading.



The dress turned out a bit snugger than I thought it would, but Maggie says it doesn't feel tight at all. Whew. Did adding the facing really make that much difference?? And it turned out much shorter than I expected. Boy, I'm glad I added way more length than I thought I'd need. I was expecting a 3" hem, but in some places it's less than 1".

I'm satisfied with the dress. Gary is mega-impressed. (Or doing a good job of scamming me about how nice a dress I made.)

  5. It looks great! And you beat Tina. She still has to do the hem on Jenna's dress.
