This is the first dress I made after taking a pattern making class at the community college. I like it a lot, really... I made the pattern and that makes me really happy. I'm completely buzzed from that class 'cause now I can make a pattern for any dress I want, and when I make it, it'll fit perfect. MAN! That's just so exciting! Hahah. Pardon my outburst.
I was using a waist measurement that was two inches big, and the dress came out exactly two inches too big in the waist. Haha. At least it worked right. I had to take it in, but it fits nice and snug now, so the extra effort was worth it.
