Understudy post...

...for when its too gloomy and the apartment is a mess.  I made this dress/took these photos a while ago, but it is certainly a favorite of mine.

So that totally awesome ridiculously inspiring vintage curtain fabric I bought last week and paid an arm and a leg to get dry-cleaned turned out to be not so awesome.  I made a dress last night with it, couldn't wait! Chris was out at soccer, Cat had a fresh bottle of wine and all the time in the world.  I slipped on the nearly finished dress and the fabric just started falling apart.  I tried to start on other projects but I was so discouraged I just gave up and went to bed to read.  Then my kindle battery died. 

Its made this dress out of navy jersey eyelet with a light blue jersey lining that peeks through the eyelet holes.  The squared-out sleeves were something that I've been seeing a lot lately and I love it.  I think its a super-flattering alternative if you don't want to actually wear sleeves, but also don't want to go sleeveless.
