The Travel Dress....Finally.

I started working on this dress in like..November. It wasn't a hard dress to make, I just procrastinated and such....Once I finally finished the dress and tried it on, I discovered that I had gained so much weight I couldn't fit into the damn thing.

After busting my ass for over a month, I've lost 10 pounds, and I can squeeze myself into the dress.

I used the following Vogue Pattern:

If you remember my purple wiggle dress form a few months back, you will see that this is the same pattern from that dress. I chose to go with the main view this time.

The pattern reminded me of a very early 60's silhouette, so I went all Mad Men on it.

I think it turned out nicely...wish the sleeves had come out less puffy, but all in all, I think I will be wearing it to work pretty often.
