Smirkity smirk...

Not a very good picture by any standards, but here's proof positive that the dress is finished at last! (well, sort of)  I'm far prouder of this than anything else I've made in the past.  For one thing, I've never sewn a whole dress by hand before this (alright, alright... so I cheated a bit!  The long skirt construction seams were done on the machine, but that's because I got bored one day.  It didn't happen again) and I've never done so much little detailed work on one garment.  It's the first really pretty dress I've ever made, and I can't wait to get all dressed up properly with appropriate hair and wear it to an event!  I still have to add fasteners to the back and bind a couple inner seams, but still.  I can psychologically put it behind me and get cracking on the King, Queen, Prince, and several other projects that have all piled up.  Oh yeah, and I guess I should probably try to focus on school a bit while I'm at it!
