Second Dress No.1 Attempt

With all the Frankie excitement I forgot to post a picture of this second Dress No. 1 from @100actsofsewing of sewing that I made.

This time I still sized up most of the pattern, but not the shoulders/arm openings. I actually chopped off about two inches from the top and it fits a lot better than the first.

Sadly this crinkle rayon from Joann’s frayed like crazy, ejected all my pins, and snagged within 5 minutes of putting the dress on. But at only $6 a yard it was perfect to practice with.

I feel like I am making good progress getting this pattern adjusted to fit me well and can see making a bunch of these in the future!
