But not a real green dress, that's cruel.....

Ignore the fact that I'm big as a house and have no make-up on and focus on the dress. This is what I spent most of yesterday doing. I made mock-ups of two dresses I had using an old sheet that had torn. The first looked like a mu-mu, and it is now my new nightgown. The second was just crooked and bizarre looking. Finally, out of sheet, I decided to do the third and final dress using the green linen I had gotten to make the dress. It was kind of scary, since if I messed up the fabric was shot. I used a pattern I had gotten when I was 18. It was several sizes too small and definitely NOT a maternity pattern. It was a lot of cutting up the pattern and reshaping, measuring again and again, etc.. I made the front way longer and it still goes up in the front! Oh well, in the end I was pretty happy with how it turned out. E said it was a Peter Pan dress. I think it looks better in real life, but maybe I just have a better image of myself in my head!
