Butterick 5032 finished

I finished my dress.   After doing the sway back adjustment I also lengthened the back darts.  When I cut out the pattern I shortened it as its a mid calf length.  I've obviously shortened it too much, but hey, its still ok.

Now its done and it fits like a glove.

Can't wait to wear it to work tomorrow.

Am doing headless shots because its Sunday and I look like a bag of sh*t!  And you know what?  I hate my elbows from behind.  Thank god I never have to look at them.

It's destined to become a wardrobe staple!
