I am so proud of this, I can't put it into words. I've loved every minute of the process and construction, even laughing and enjoying when I've made mistakes - like the sewn up comedy armholes! I have already bought the fabric to make the next one - the same pattern but different material - and I need to get a shimmy on as I've rashly announced that I'm going to wear it to a wedding in mid June!
I wore the dress to the start of my new term at college - trousers next, eek! - and my tutor said that, for a first attempt, I'd made a "wonderful job". She also said that my handstitching on the hems is some of the neatest she'd ever seen. And I got a round of applause - which was mortifying, but very gratifying at the same time!
