1953 print voile dress

[mandie_rw]

Well, okay. Notwithstanding all my complaining about never finishing anything in my previous post, I actually managed to hem the print 50s Vogue dress, so it's done. (Gimme a Cream album and a Queen album and I can do any tedious hemming! A fuller skirt might also require a Beatles album though.) So, yes, I had to update with a YAY PROGRESS post.

What's left on the List of Dooooom (that of course has had things added to it)? Let's see:
- 1950s print voile dress that needs to be hemmed and have the belt put together
- Burda 1960s-style blue and pink mini-dress that needs a zipper and a hem
- striped 1940s dress from another Butterick Retro pattern I've got that needs to be taken in so I'll actually wear it
- same for a black & white 50s dress
- early 1960s-style plaid silk dress, currently hidden in a bag because I sewed the sleeves on backwards, so it got shoved away in disgust a couple months ago
- 1947 Butterick Retro black & white striped dress and black jacket: finish dress, start jacket

I'm probably forgetting something else I want to finish that's shoved in another bag somewhere...can add that when I find it! And I'll take pictures of these...uh, eventually. When I get a couple of them finished, so I can do my hair and attempt to not look like a hobo. (I look like a hobo today. Trust me.)

On to the zipper of the b&w striped dress! I hate zippers.
