My ambition is to be able to sew my own dresses. I find it troublesome to pick clothes every morning and I dream of the day when I can just throw on a dress and head out the door. I hope that these dresses are good quality, nice fitting, and appropriate for my city life. I think that in the next 12 months, I will be able to accomplish this feat. I have no formal training (unless you count making a pillow in middle school). I've only got my sewing machine, lots of books, and the Internet. As well as lots and lots of encouragement.

Success!

Look what happened! I fixed it!

The dress was too big in the arms and neckline. So, I put it on and when I gathered the material at the top, it all lined up. So I sewed across the top of the sleeves. I also changed the neckline.

Here it is!

This is the finished version. It looks a little plain and I decided not to put darts in it.


Instead of darts, I added a belt. I promise it looks better in person than in this photo.


This is the neckline.


This is the sleeve.


The only thing that needs to be added in the future are pockets.

I am just happy that the dress is finished!
