the dress is completed. it was a fairly easy project but the armhole piping was very tricky and the instructions weren't so helpful. each time i sew, i figure more and more that we sewists are a very smart and patient bunch because there are some things that are just beyond regular human comprehension. but the plus side is if you do something once, it'll stick with you. so, here's to that. this is what the completed dress looks like. if only i can get my sis to try it on! the joys of sewing for your siblings....
