the same dress worn three times in two weeks

Some school friends were getting married and invited the bf and I to their wedding. Greg was in the wedding party and was wearing a tux. I wanted to make a dress. After surveying my sister and two friends, I decided on a Cynthia Rowley pattern from Simplicity. I didn't like the trendy sleeve, so I made a proper short sleeve. I spent four hours trying to sew in pockets, eventually deciding to abandon them. I spent the better part of a day fussing about with the facing, eventually ripping it all out and trusting my instincts instead of the pattern instructions.



I wore it to the wedding and received a compliment from a wedding guest I didn't know. I wore it out to my goodbye roommate dinner. I plan to wear it again to a party later this week.



A good choice, I'd say.
