I finally completed my Alabama Chanin inspired dress!
Although I'm posting this rather late the dress actually didn't take as long as I thought it would. I wrote the first post in July and I finished the dress in September. It truly was a labor of love and it was wonderful learning new skills, including stenciling and reverse applique. I also discovered new appreciation for the control hand sewing affords; however, the best part was the dress fits like a dream! Ms. Chanin sure does know how to draft a flattering dress pattern.
I would like to thank my mother-in-law for the fabulous accessories (i.e. necklace and earrings). I'll never wear this dress without them again!
Happy sewing everyone!
