Easy Little Dress

Right after graduating, with time on my hands and no idea what was in store for me, I had this crazy idea that I would make myself some clothes for work. I had some wool left over from a bowtie project I undertook two years ago, which turned out to be enough for a little shift. The local pattern/fabric store had a sale on Vogue patterns, and I bought several work dress patterns. This was the first of those that I made, last June, in between studying for an exam and moving.

The neckline and torso were a little fussy:

V1156, an Anne Klein New York pattern (So many darts. So much pressing. So much topstitching.).

It gets worn at least every other week, so, for as much frustration as it caused me in the making, I would make it again.
