dressy

Just before Christmas, I finished this dress:

£2.75/metre from Walthamstow market

It's a lovely floral, stretch fabric. I decided to line it, primarily as I find it's the easiest way to get around having to deal with the armholes. I also did the zip by hand again as doing it with my machine just never looks half as good. It does take time, and with the lining and fabric layer, it also took a bit of force to get the needle through...

I somehow think, I should have been sewing a more wintery dress instead, but I guess I had anticipated taking it to Australia. Which I didn't in the end.
