I spent a fair amount of today perusing this vintage dressmaking book, It's so 50s.
And,I finished the "official" dress pattern today with the help of my trusty prototype (A.K.A my birthday dress). And I got it ready for grading(hooray). Thank you everyone for the nice comments about my(somewhat whiny)last post, they made me feel much better:).
My poor camera is really messed up(it can't even focus). I'm going to try to get it repaired, but I hear that repairs sometimes costs more than the camera(eek). In the meantime I'm "borrowing" the camera that took these pictures(it's quite nice).
