Here are pictures of the finished dress. I am pleased with how it turned out. The collar makes me crazy but I figure after four times, I was leaving it and not re-doing another. It is on a pretty hanger in a bag and ready to travel to the fair tomorrow. Now have to get my travel stitching bag ready for the car.
Martha, it is just lovely! Blue ribbon for sure!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I like the smocking, but if it gets a blue ribbon it is because they weren't looking at that stinking collar. LOL
