Fitting pictures

This is me figuring out the length of the straps. I'm also testing out these shoes with the dress. Pretend that the facing the is poking out the back is already understitched and tacked down by hand. And ditto on the part where the facing is pinned at CF. And that my expression looks significantly less angry. (I was focused on trying to get a good shot of the dress and the shoes.) ;p

I'd also say pretend there aren't any wrinkles in the back, but I think some of those are there to stay because I am just too darn lazy to add boning to get rid of them.

All that's left now is: sewing in the front of the straps, understitching the facing, tacking down the facing (probably by whipstitching to the lining, and hemming.

I love it! The ruching and neckline is so flattering!

Thank you! I have to give credit to McCall 7667 from 1949 for the design.

That is very flattering on you-- well done! I think the wrinkles in the back fit right in with the ruching in the front-- ssshhhh! it's supposed to be that way!!!

Thank you! I like half-circle skirts because they give a nice amount of flair without eating up tons of fabric.

Lovely! I really like that color on you and the bodice is just divine.
