Finally!

Vogue 9022 is complete, finally!

I feel like it is taking me forever to complete projects.  I know I am spending extra time making fitting adjustments.  Of late I have to adjust the back on just about everything I sew.  Length is too long or width in upper back is too wide, hip area too tight!!!

I am happy with this dress.  Sorry no photo of me wearing yet.  This one of those dress that when it is hanging it is not as appealing as on, or at least for me.

Here is the front and back hanging:

I pinned the pockets to the dress because when hanging they gape.  While wearing they don't.  I plan to wear the dress next week and will take shots of me wearing it.

Next up


I am going to make one of these boxy style tops. View E or View C.  I also plan to make culottes shown in View E above.  I will share more later.

    1. I really like how this looks on me. Surprising that I do as sometimes drop shoulders/kimono sleeves look odd to me.

    1. Thanks Coco, the blocking became a necessity when I realized I did not have enough of the geranium color to make the dress!

  3. Lovely dress and it looks like it will be comfy. I tried a boxy top and it quickly became a somewhat fitted one. Boxy is just not flattering on me. Culotes are tempting !!
