You all were totally right about
this dress I made out of vintage blue lace... (without even thinking about it as I cut it out, I made the skirt length the whole width of the fabric, since it had that nice scalloped edge woven in... and it ended up way longer than I was expecting. I asked what you all thought about it, and the primary response was, yes, it should be shorter!) So I hung it in the sewing room closet as I wrapped up my book sewing and writing, and finally had a chance to get to it over the weekend. It's
no fun to redo something that you've already finished once, but I had some time plus some Mindy Project to watch while I unpicked, cut, and re-sewed.
Remember it? There it is on the left, and on the right the shortened version!
Much, much better!
So thanks for the feedback on
the original dress! Now it's much more wearable and trendy for a springy/summery party, plus a little edgier!
