After many hours changing and fixing this dress I honestly feel like I have unpicked more than I have sewn.  After not sewing for a number of years I have been quickly reminded not to follow patterns too strictly and go with what I think will work better. Sometimes the instructions can make the whole process a little too complicated.

Anyway here we are, at least it is in one piece and the top half is attached to the bottom, I need to put the zip back in; I can’t remember how many times that zip has been in and out.  I also unpicked the yoke facing to ensure a neater finish on the inside, so this will need stitching again, then the final finishing touches and away we go…….hopefully 🙂
