FO 1940s Swing Dress Version 1

I'm sorry I've been such a bad blogger. I actually have several FOs that I need to blog about. I am still participating in Me-Made-March and am taking my daily photos. I was hoping to put one week's worth of outfits in a collage, but haven't gotten around to doing that yet. I'll get to it this week, though.

Even though I'm wearing a new skirt to work today, I am showing you what I wore yesterday to Church. It's my new swing dress. This is the first version, which is cute, but a bit matronly for my style. I have already completed another version, in a different material. It's a bit snug on me, so hopefully I'll be able to fit into in the next week or so to show you how it looks. This version is sleeveless and in a charmeuse fabric. My current dress is made from a light voile and is underlined with cotton batiste.




Overall, I am very happy that I managed to complete this dress on time with Casey's sewalong. I do think that I could see another one or two of these in my future, as it is an easy project after going through it once or twice (I did make a muslin of the bodice). Stay tuned for pics of my new skirt I wore to work today and my new flannel jacket/cardi in the coming days....
