(Sorry for the weird way the sleeves are laying. I was very distracted while taking these pictures, which is probably clear.)
This version is made from woven fabric instead of knit, isn't lined, and best of all - no heming! All edges trimmed in self-made bias tape. The elastic in the sleeves was run through the bias tape, too.
And look at the sweet red button! If feels so good using up a random button. One down, five thousand to go. Baby steps.
I'm really enjoying this silhouette. It feels really versatile - and is so far proving to be!
The only (non-aesthetic) change I'll make next time is to open the arm hole a little more - it was just the tiniest bit of a squeeze getting those elbows through.
And, just in case anyone is worried these pictures came to us with uncharacteristic ease, we'll close with a photographic description of how our day has been:
I feel like the blank stare, open mouth, dirty face, crazy hair, and crooked glasses really say it all. Here's looking at you, Tomorrow!
oh my word - this dress is so stinkin' cute!! love, love it and the bias tape binding is not only brilliant but looks so terrific too!
