When you have lemons...

make a totally awesome yet ill-fitting summer dress!

Here's the story:  One of my oldest and dearest friends (Michelle!) got married last year, and I made her this dress for her honeymoon.  We were both so busy and weren't able to meet for me to measure her.  So -I'm not going to name names here - one of us trusted the other to measure herself and that particular individual used a straight ruler and a piece of ribbon.  One of us also overestimated her boobs. Again, not naming names.  So the time finally came a year later to get this thing altered


 
And wouldn't you know - its on-trend now!

Stella McCartney, Wunderkind (x2), Prada (image c/o printsourcenewyork.blogspot.com)

Its also interesting to see how I was constructing things a year ago -- what a difference twelve months makes! ...talking to myself in the sewing room going, "I would NEVER construct an armhole like that, what is WRONG with you Cat??"

Enjoy your Tuesday!
