The Red Dress: Completed!

So I have completed the red work dress. The pictures that I took don't really do it justice but it came out really nice. I am happy with the results, and glad that I worked on a less expensive fabric first, because there were some changes to the fitting as I went along.
All in all it took about a day and 1/2 to complete, total. I worked on it over 2 weekends so that it not too bad. I hope to make another version of the dress with the full skirt as well, but maybe in a silk that I have in my fabric stash that is just waiting for a "home".

The dress is already packed for the work week ahead so stay tuned as to how it "felt" while wearing it!
Not the best pic. My dress form is smaller than I am now! I don't know why it shrunk!!

A little better picture, showing the fit of the dress. Ignore the pasty white legs and the messy bedroom!
