Hooray! I made something for myself. Making for me happens a lot less these days. I cut this dress out at the end of November and meant to sew it in time for Christmas. But then Christmas projects took over my life and the dress remained tucked away until a couple weeks ago. The pattern is Simplicity 2246. I changed the sleeves - either I need to lift Greta more or dress pattern sleeves are disproportionate. I've never been in love with my arms, but seriously? Anyways, if I make the dress again, I'd lengthen the sleeve and put in an elastic. The pattern has some other really cute views. I bought some floral fabric recently and I think I'll make it up with this pattern. Other than the sleeves issue, I really like this dress! I love the gathered skirt at the waist. It's really fun! And I love the metallic dot fabric I made it up in. The whole dress is a win-win. A good start to my new years resolution of making more for me.
