I am still feeling like crud but I got this dress finished. I can sit at a sewing machine especially with much tea and rests.
I played with the a-line dress pattern I have been making and added sleeves. The first muslin I made pulled badly over my chest. But this one did not. I added three quarter length sleeves and modified the bodice and arm holes to take the sleeves.
I would have gotten a picture of me in it but my official picture taker has been under the weather. I just know I like it. I will have to make myself more. I have a few dresses that I think we end up in this shape. It is exciting.
