There are so many things I love about this dress, and a few things that I don't. I made this dress all by myself - no cheater t-shirts. I started with a simple bodice pattern, and then tweaked it until I liked it. I finally got flutter sleeves figured out. I love the fabric, and the button loops and the green trim.
Next time I need to make the bodice just a little bit bigger around the middle - it fits better than the shirt did, but it's still a bit of a pain to get on and off. And most importantly, I need to cut the skirt at an angle, so it is fuller at the bottom - Cupcake struggles to run and play because it is a little constricting.
I'm sad that it isn't perfect, but I'm still pretty proud of myself. And I'm aware of the things I need to change for future projects. Not sure what is next on my list of things to do. I've been meaning to make myself a tote bag (need a nice big one for the library). Easter is coming up, so I could work on that project (I have the fabric, not sure what it'll be). I'm not happy with how all of Cupcake's shirts are becoming too short, so I want to try my hand at peasant tops. Or I'll take a break until KCW next month and focus on some artwork.
