I find myself reaching for my Washington dresses when I need something easy but "classy" -- I'm glad summer has rolled around so I can pull them out of storage!

I never want to redo anything either after I've made it.... I still have a beautiful striped moneta hanging in the laundry as it needs a lining....tanyamailehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765305177681518461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21513612.post-65338881628678168192016-06-13T14:00:01.628-04:002016-06-13T14:00:01.628-04:00I don't think I've ever re-made a garment ...I don't think I've ever re-made a garment either. Good for you! I really like the dress with the dark plum top, but it is too big, your second version fits much better! I think the lace looks really fab too!

That is a nice looking dress, and even moreso once you got it to fit right! I hope you get lots of wear out of that dress this summer!Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21513612.post-51105928609020009662016-06-12T15:18:30.732-04:002016-06-12T15:18:30.732-04:00I tried to be as diplomatic as possible because I ...I tried to be as diplomatic as possible because I UNDERSTAND what it's like to make a garment - it's like your child - so criticism of anyone's child is difficult. Though I'm so happy you remade this dress because it's stunning now. AND I understand about the closer fit...you will get used to it! Because you look fantastic in the closer fitting dress. It shows all the hard work you've put into eating better!!!Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.com
