I finally finished The Dress this weekend.  I think I put in about 10 hours from start to finish, which means at my billable rate, it’s a $650 dress.  “Couture,” my co-workers call it.  Anyway, here are the pics:

On to bigger and better, we picked out some more fabric to do the same dress, and will attempt another pattern.  Not so sure about the second pattern, it’s got pleaty-ruffly things in the waistline.  I still don’t know all the terminology (why anyone would want to baste a dress is beyond me), so they will remain pleaty-ruffly things.
