Descended into lunacy yet again. My community orchestra is doing movie tunes and the management announced that we could dress up. So of course I thought I would make an outfit. Ironically, I just want to make it. I don't even want to wear a costume to play an orchestra concert!
I planned a very simple outfit. It took me hours and hours and hours to make it. From getting the (cheap) fabric I wanted in the right color to making pattern adustments and mockups to cutting and sewing polyester charmeuse and polyester chiffon (OMG), it took longer than I anticipated.
Also, in addition to forgetting to put on my necklace for this photo shoot, I put the lace overlay on backwards. HAHAHAHA.

I saw a photo of the front view, and I thought, "crap! how do the necklines not match?" Well! At least it's better than discovering I sewed it wrong!
The picture below has the dress on the right way.

The top of the dress is Simplicity 2599. I made it big, size 14. The skirt is just a rectangle I cut wide enough to be larger than the bottom circumference of the top so the skirt would gather a tiny bit. The lace overlay is Seamwork Akita, also size 14.

So I am not buying shoes to go with this but I have some I thought would work pretty well. Eh, not so much. But still, they'll have to do.
