I finished my dress, except for the hem on Wednesday.
Thursday I hemmed it by hand and got it washed and hung to dry.
FuzzyHusband and I both forgot to get a photo of the entire thing at the show. But I did remember a selfie on Saturday night. I wore my hair down, but I did it all by myself, which is a new thing for me. I've never been one for spending time in front of a mirror.
For today's matinee show, one of the other gals styled it for me. Not sure which I like more, but I feel pretty with both.
The only issue with this dress was rubbing from sequins on my upper arms where the strawberries were right next to the armholes. I will spare you the photo and say that it's a good thing I learned my own saliva will break down my own bloodstains back when I was learning to embroider. Ouch.
I did remove the sequins that were obvious problems. It should be better the next time I wear it.
My next project is sitting here on the table. Probably time to get it started.
Especially since it snowed again today.
You look lovely – especially with your hair down!
