My goal was to sew a dress before summer finished. If I hadn't sewn the zipper in backwards last night, I'd have had something to show yesterday. 
All of the internal seams are bound (yay me!)
The hem isn't done, and won't be done before summer's over, since my summer finishes, uh, yesterday. And I need a hook-and-eye thingy. Maybe I'll actually finish it next week. Next week-ish. -Ish. Here's my questions:
- I think it's a bit long (or I'm a bit short... yeah, probably more likely), and I intend on shortening the hem (or growing me, yeah right) a little. How much should I take it up? AND...
- I have seam tape for the inside, which will hopefully be inconspicuous. OR I could bind the bottom of the dress with purple satin, like the straps and belt. Which will look better?
I think you should hem it somewhere around knee length. And I like the bottom the way it is without any dark satin at the bottom. Very pretty, good job. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, it currently accentuates my massive calves. So attractive. Knee-length sounds good. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHey I love it! I'm clearly way behind on your blog, but knowing how school goes, you're probably not to hemming it yet :). I agree with Carrie that knee length or just below is a good standard. And, I also like it without the purple becauuuuse I think then your eyes will be drawn up to the color, which is what you want. -g b-f
