This dress took me quite some time to complete. It's the Simplicity pattern 2281, version C, without the midriff applique.
First mistake happened at the sleeves which I managed to sew on twisted.
Then the project came to a standstill when the zip had to be inserted. I prefer to do them by hand. Which turned out really crap. Not quite obvious from the photo below but it really was all wanky. So, I undid it all and redid it with the machine. Which was an improvement, but because of the pocket, it still looked shit. I thus, redid it again, this time removing the pocket. So now I only have one pocket on the other side. Which quite frankly is fine with me.
Lastly, the hem looked shit due to a mistake with the lining. So, I had to redo that again.
But finally, I have a dress! And I really like the shoulder details. And everything about it really. I think I might do another version of it in another fabric, this time without the pocket to start with which I hope will save me a lot of hassle!
