My first photo!

I made this dress from an "Advance" pattern, which is not dated, but I think is from the mid fifties.

Picture courtesy of my lovely fiance:

and then one in the mirror to get the skirt in:

IMAG0107.jpg


I'm pretty pleased with it. It had two zips, which I haven't done many times before, and some nifty triple arm darts. When I can get the scanner to work (which may be months, I've only just managed to work the camera!) I'll put the pattern on the pattern swap thread.

Thankyou Rockapin-up! I'm pleased with how it came out. I'm doing the 4790 now. The joy of summer holidays!:)

Aw thanks so much ladies! I'm still no master seamstress but I did start my Halloween costume. Sadly it's been put on hold due to a freak accident that left my hands injured. But I'll definitely post pics when I'm done! :D

It's rather embarrassing really. I could just say I was stabbed repeatedly by an anesthetic needle a la Planet Terror. That just sounds cooler. ;)
