The result of my creative process… Hello ruffle dress!

Dress by Meg, Background by God

And just like that it’s all over!! So after much-ado, here is the result of my pains… my ruffle dress!! What do you guys think?

Personally I’m in love, and I’m determined to wear it everywhere from now on… I’m really happy that I decided to go with this colour rather than the pink. I think it would have been a little too much look!

And I”m especially glad that I put in that big effort to get it all finished quickly this week… I’d been spending so much time on the pattern, and talking about the pattern, that I was starting to hate the dress before I’d even made it! But I nipped my crazies in the bud, and now I’m sooooo  happy with my little dress. The really nice thing about drafting my own pattern, was that it fits perfectly. I think everyone should sew, it’s such an amazing hobby.

The colour really isn’t coming out well… it’s a very pale sage green, but looks rather beige in the pics. Ah yes, I am no photographer!!

But seriously guys, should I make another? Or is it silly to have multiples of the same dress in your wardrobe? I think I may go for a similar shape, in a print fabric, sans ruffles?

I have to say that Iowa has the most amazing storms I’ve experienced in my entire life, and believe me I’ve lived in a lot of places! Sometimes I walk into a store and the skies are blue, and I walk out to a thunder storm. As I’m writing this the rain has suddenly started pouring… I feel the urge to run in it… it’s freaking awesome.
