Today has been a snow day.  The building where I work was closed so I have been home doing things that I never seem to get a chance to do.  I did some cleaning.  I got some letterpress plates ordered and a bit of other computer work.  I mended for a couple hours.  And I finished this dress.

I saw a dress from France in this shape.  They did it in wool with a lot of interesting applique.  It was a bit much for me but I liked the concept in a simpler fashion.  I went into my stash and found a work in progress that has been that way for years.  The shape and curve are straight from the dress from France.  

I added a sparkly button on the back.  It makes me happy.

I lovely dressy dress.  Life is good.
