my first sewing project: a vogue pattern... and 2 fabrics, all from joanns.
v8278

it was my first time trying to figure out patterns and their measurements. i ended up with one too big and then tried to give it a bit of shape by adding darts in the front and back of the dress. it didn't end up as i expected but it was decent for the first try. i'll definately be repeating this pattern using fabric that is not so stretchy and a smaller pattern size. the picture shows me using a blue satin sash i borrowed from another dress. i was going to go for a sandy brown one but never got around to it. may be one day... after i get to correcting the darts.


fabrics:
burgundy roma ponte knit
grey stretch knit (for belt)
