Before we went on vacation, I had that marathon cutting out session that I posted about. During that, I cut out two dresses.
I started with the 1911 Sense and Sensibility pattern. The first thing Russell asked was if I had really used it. I cringed and told him I used it a a guideline, which was true. I lowered the bodice by eight inches, widened the skirt to a ninety inch radius, changed the neckline, shortened the sleeves, and lengthened the skirt so I can barely see my toes.
It is really comfortable and actually fits better then it looks here. I am moving in circles in red shoes.
See! Red Shoes!
I also made the dress in brown corduroy. So I have on in brown and red. They are so soft that I am afraid I will be too rough on them. But, I can always make more if I shed them. I do have that tendency.
