I have a vintage dress that I had in mind to imitate. The contrast between it and my effort is quite comical.

This might have been the first thing I made--other than Halloween costumes for my kids--when I started sewing again as an adult. I must be tenacious of life! Such a disaster and yet I kept sewing. Go figure. Ha ha ha. Hysterical. What is even funnier is what I was imagining. I thought satiny underlayer with a chiffon overlayer. Dreamy. I'm not the only one who thought to take this pattern in that direction--there are some posts on the Burda site from people who did exactly that. They bemoan their disastrous results, but their dresses are quite lovely, and honey, you haven't seen disaster until you have seen this dress. I have a vintage dress that I had in mind to imitate. The contrast between it and my effort is quite comical. I made a belt thinking it might help. Uh, no. No, I never bothered to hem it. Would you?
