Drum Roll Please....

I've Finished. Finally. isn't it cute?


My sister came over last night and as i was modeling the dress for her, the stupid cheap zipper popped open. for this reason i wasnt ready to go out to a restaurant and take pictures in it there, like i said before. and i HAVE NOT gained any weight at all. i swear. i know what you're thinking! i've just had some unlucky zippers lately, and it's driving me nuts. any one know of some good, quality zippers?




 

I think the belt really helps the dress not seem so "cutsy". and it sort of hides the left waist seam that bulges out from me trying to alter it. all in all, once i replace the zipper, i actually really like this dress. i'm happy i finished.




Now, i'm sure everyone has noticed that i'm not exactly living up to my word and producing two dresses a month. right now, its been like one dress every six weeks! i promise i'm trying. after seeing my somewhat lacking grades for last semester, i realize i cant exactly not do homework and just sew if my goal is to graduate. that's why, from this day on, i'm simplifying my designs so i can get them done in a timely manner.

i'm off to my birthday lunch with my hubby. happy 22.

  5. Another cjane recommend. What's a girl gotta do to get this dress made in her size? I see you are in school and very busy. Not wanting to add to your load, perhaps a post semester deal can be struck? Let me know via my profile link.

  6. I love your work! (and I found you via Cjane as well) I agree with Suzanne, postpartum dresses sound too good to be true. I'd love one, or even some recommendations on making one myself, for after my next baby.
