satin is (not) for sanity

The next time I suggest making something in satin, tell me to think twice... or at least remind me that I need to budget about twice as much time as I normally do.

With that important reminder to my future self out of the way, my latest finished project:

N and I sporting tie and dress (respectively) at S & K's wedding

Dress pattern: Vogue V8666 view B
Size: initially 18/20, tailored to fit
Fabric: Satin (polyester), grosgrain ribbon, stretch lace

Tie pattern: From instructions at Weekend Designer
