When I say old project I mean old. This project is from back in December, Simplicity 1250 in taffeta. To date this has to be my favorite dress that I've made. The Taffeta was actually a dream to work with and the silver lace was SO simple that I was blown away. I have a few pictures one is a shot from before I hand stitched the buttons on the jacket so it's not perfect and then I have a finished product shot as well. The only issue that I had with the dress was the peplum at the waist. because I adjusted the pattern and did the dress all in one fabric and the jacket without a collar the finishing was a little weird but I ended up using a hem stitch to finish the peplum and just eye-balled the jacket.
The jacket in the finished product was actually one of the most comfortable jackets I have ever made. I was actually a little worried about it being hard to move it but it didn't limit my mobility at all which was wonderful.
but this is one of my favorites, hands down. I have now been searching for every possible excuse to wear it.
