The dress

Holy crap people. I was sewing along on a merry dream of unicorns and rainbows until I got the the sleeves.

Oh sure, I did a placket. A PLACKET!
Apparently very tricky and fiddly but something I found relatively straightforward and not so fiddly at all.

Oh sure, I unpicked the whole goddamn thing because my bosom needs two darts not one and a hell of a lot 'deeper' than what the pattern said.

But sleeves. SLEEVES are a BITCH.

I've just finished one. Again.
Yeah. I finished it the other day and then realised there was a whole CUFF section I had completely forgotten to attach.
Holy crap one hundred times over.

Now I know why I chose a floral. It hides so so so many sins.

Pictures tomorrow. As tomorrow is my birthday and GOD DAMN IT I am wearing this god forsaken dress on my birthday IF IT KILLS ME.

Oh, it's Simplicity 2885 and I'm making the dress on the top row, second one in from the left.
