Wrapping Up The Break...

After a week of working on various projects and just enjoying a week of sleeping in and lounging, I finished my sewing project and here are the results…
.
(With no zippers, elastic and just a tie in the back, it is pretty easy and pretty fun to make too! Fluttery sleeves are harder to pull off than I thought. I might be altering these later on.)
.
(Since it was a little chilly the first Sunday that I wore this dress, I grabbed a turquoise cardigan to throw over it. Even though it is hard to see in the photo, the pattern in the dress also has some turquoise in it as well so the colors went well together.)
.
Overall, I felt like it was a success. I might attempt to make this dress again (following the same pattern) in a jersey or knit fabric and see how that turns out. But I probably wont attempt that until the Summer:)
