First, I was dizzy trying to find the right pieces to trace out for this dress. I know, it is what it is.... Dizzy none the less.
First problem: Forgot to cut these pieces on the fold. Nuts.
OK, not a show stopper. I decided to use Felled Seams on everything including the new front and back seams, and on the front I happened to have a pretty taffeta ribbon that went perfectly with the fabric.
Second problem: Didn't make casing quite wide enough. Nuts.
OK, still not a show stopper. I'll add the ribbon! Nope. Stitched in the ditch and just made a mess.I added another bias strip instead, trimmed it down, and I still need to hand stitch the casing on top.
I also decided to make a key hole with the ribbon on the top to make sure I could get into this dress. I've got bigger shoulders. You'll see. One of these minutes I'll be brave enough to try on the things that I make and actually won't mind being seen in them!
So here you go. I liked the tie as a belt, and might make one more to actually have as a belt.
