So it's not completely done, but this is about as far as I am going get on dress #1 for my birthday present to myself!
For the next year, I'm giving myself two months to complete a dress. By the end of the year I'll be 32 and have six new vintage, or vintage inspired dresses! Great birthday present hey?! I bought a bunch of vintage patterns online, but decided on a newer pattern from my collection.
I used Vogue 2429. I still have to install the zipper and hem the bottom, but other than that I think it's looking pretty good!
I didn't have quite enough fabric to make the dress so i improvised but adding those red panels. I think it's adds a nice detail, especially when I walk! I plan on getting some better photos once it's complete.
Oh and notice my hair ... pin curl set!! I'm getting it done up by a friend as we are going to an xmas party tonight!



Very cute Tan! I really like the red panels - they add a little something extra to the dress. Very chic! And the hair totally tops it off ;)
