Dress

Here are a couple pictures of the dress. When I wear it, it feels a bit off centered (due to my sewing, not my body.) Sewing the zipper (first one ever) was  a good learning lesson. It took a lot of patience, but was fairly simple. This was a good practice run because I had not encountered a lot of the basic steps before. Dressmaking is waaaaay different than quilting.... especially since I'm not a fussy quilter. I don't mind off centered things or mismatched points in my quilts.

Hand basting the zipper in place

WHAT IS THAT?
 Somewhere I must have missed a step that instructed me to trim or fold that excess over. Anyone have ideas on what step I missed?

First zipper ever-- I'm still pretty proud of it.
