I finished my dress and I totally love it! It is no great feat for anyone else but for me its a huge accomplishment and I am very proud! Its kind of boho or casual chic a little too much so for me but I will wear it proudly. I worked hard on the straps and I did not have enough spare material so I resorted to making them out of some really pretty hemming fabric I found and you would never know that it wasnt intentionally made that way. Perhaps I will wear it to my party this weekend if it is very hot outside, it is after all long enough to cover my unfortunate legs!
