I made this dress for my trip to Europe last year. I heard Europeans wear pants and long dresses, so I made the dress long with side slits. I didn’t take photos of the dress in Europe, but I grabbed a few photos when I wore it to a dinner & dance last May. I don’t like tight dresses so I made size 38. (I normally wear size 36.)

Some criticism is constructive, but he really has no...
I’m always up for having a sewing buddy! This time, I teamed up with my mom. A couple weeks back while running errands with my mom, I asked her to swing by the fabric store for some materials.
