I've been reading your blog for a couple of months now and thought I'd drop a note. I've found so much inspiration in the projects you write about! One of them was this dress. I am a total newby to sewing, but one day I saw all the great things you can actually make with your own hands and I was sold. This dress was destined to my second project (the first being Amy Butler's Birdie Sling which came out just perfect). I like a challenge! The zipper went fine, the inner lining of the top of the dress was more difficult. The sleeves were the hardest part. Somehow the arm opening seems to big for the sleeve. It get's all pouffy in the back. In any case I am not going to give up. I am determined to get a dress that turns up just like yours! Best wishes from Europe, Kaat Hi Karyn!

It's amazing what a couple of lovely sleeves can make: the dress looks so pretty and feminine! I'd love to see it full-lenght though. I'm loving this 13 dresses epic journey! :) I love dress nr. 8!
