2012: That's a wrap folks...

It's that time of year, the time when I admit that I did not finish my goals.  It's okay though since there were several other non-sewing victories.

2013 goals:
obtain a more correct silhouette for work that is functional and doesn't knock things off the shelves.
- short hoopskirt "mini crini"
- 1860s brown dress after Mrs. Lewis William Tappar's dress

Little Black dress, contd.

Some of you might remember my last post about a certain little black dress from before my honeymoon a few weeks ago.  I did in fact finish it in time and got some slightly blurry photos while on vacation.

That little black dress

As soon as I saw it, I knew it had to be mine.  I need a fancier dress for a variety of reasons, most notably the honeymoon I'm leaving for this week.  Huge thanks to The Fashionable Past for pinning this dress on pinterest.

More photos can be found here at Hemlock Vintage Clothing and I'll have photos of my dress up soon.  So far I've got the skirt pieces cut out and pinned on the dressform.
