anotheranonFinished the Donna Karan dress, and it actually doesn't look like a stretchy blob - it looks quite good!
Looked lousy as a dress though - it was a bad hem length for me, even with the unevenness. However, it makes a *fabulous* wrap-tunic top with pants/jeans! Wish I'd finished it earlier in the season as the poly jersey makes it very warm - still, there will be a few more cool days left this spring that I can wear it. Now time to make a round trip of all the fabric stores looking for stuff for my next project. Potential list:
Speaking of spring.. the weather was very nice today and looking to be so tomorrow as well. Some of the trees are starting to get their leaves back; you can see the buds. I didn't have to wear my coat home today (joy!) Yes yes.. I know it won't last just yet but I like it enough that it is worthy of note..

- bargain table cotton for muslins
- Black wool wool/blend (please?) for tail coat
- Polyester satin/lining/microfiber/something woven to make trial run of Fortuny-type dress (must be 100% poly, or boiling to set the pleats won't work)
