So I’m on 6th with Conor, the last leg of our journey to church, and I hear this quick ripping noise. Now we’re just barely going to make it in time for primary (primary is first this year in our ward) and my slit just ripped so that I’m feeling rather exposed and immodest. I made this dress and didn’t realize the slit would be so high and so I had done a quick hand sew to get it up to snuff. But that wasn’t enough, especially when walking for a good 30 minutes. I felt really embarrassed! And to top it all off I thought I had forgotten to wear a slip because it had hiked itself up and was bunched around my waist. It was rather traumatizing. In the end I scurried to the bathroom when we arrived at our chapel (the hallway wasn’t quite as clear as I was hoping) and adjusted everything so I wouldn’t be a bad example. Oi! The good part about the outfit: Conor LOVES it!
Sorry, the pattern did not photograph well. While we’re on it, anyone else have an embarrassing Sabbath experience that they’d like to share with the group? You can always just share you sympathies with me.
