Make it Work

In preparation for the Project Runway finale tomorrow, I did what I have been wanting to do for a long time... I made my very first dress! It is made from a pattern that I created and took a couple days to figure out. My model down the runway:











I love the shape and basic design of the dress. Most importantly it is very comfortable and SO easy to get on and off, which is a must to prevent Drew meltdowns. But there are some things I am going to do differently on the next one. I'm thinking a herringbone fabric would make an adorable winter dress (with tights and a button up sweater).

Once I get it all perfected, I will put some dresses in my Etsy shop, custom made for sizes 1-5 (I think).

And as for tomorrow... I hope Leanne wins!
