Just a quick post with proof that I finished the WHOLE DAMN OUTFIT. And wore it.
Well, 'finished' is an odd word; the outfit is complete and wearable - not a safety pin in sight. However, there are still lots of raw edges, bits that need trimming etc. I suppose it has been completed, but the finishing needs some work.
Anyway, this is an interim photo. It's so interim that I almost didn't post it, there is so much I would like to change. But I thought I needed to post proof that my effort over the last week really did pay off.
I've now put the dress, sleeves and shirt in the 'finished' wardrobe, but have a list of things to clear up before I'm really done.
Wow! Finishing done or not, it is still impressive. Whoo hoo!!!

Yay for you!! I have to say, that beaded fabric on the sleeves is breathtaking.

It looks doubly fantastic from my point of view because all sewing, whether by hand or machine is alien to me. I love those sleeves as well, beautiful fabric.

Well done you!! It looks smashing (and presumably will not need an awful lot of finishing?), time to start planning the next one?

You look fabulous!!! Absolutely gorgeous!
Wonderful job... I can't see a thing wrong from here. Love the touch of the black band on the hem.

Stunning! Now you need one of the pointy hats with a wispy bit of material out the end, and a turrety castle (and a prince to whisk you away!!) I will always wonder if my sewing skills will ever manage more than lost buttons and holes in small boys trousers....!
