So yes this was my first foray into creating the shift dress, which I've always had a fondness for but I didn't think they were really my thing. I made my pattern using the never-fucking-ever-fail technique of "guesswork". The last time I tried to make a shift it was so tight I couldn't breathe at all and it was mid-crotch length. It sits in a sad heap in the corner of my sewing room.
I don't know what on earth went wrong last time because this is pretty much the easiest pattern I've made. Kind of like a big triangle except not.
This was one of those situations where I saw the fabric at work and bought it just because I could (shouts out to 50% discounts) and then got it home and left it sitting prettily on a shelf for about three weeks. It's actually meant to be quilting fabric, but what can I say, I hate the rules.
I am wearing a gold turtleneck underneath for reasons mere mortals wouldn't understand (have you SEEN how festive it is?)
Anyway I've already spilt bourbon and cola on it so I might just go and sort that out right about now.
Bye.
Tess.
P.s. Wearable arts was awesome to the highest degree. My eyes are sore from looking at so many different things.
