1940 Sundress completed!

I am super excited that I finished the sundress (well, almost--I haven't completely finished hemming it yet).

Here's some photos at the Falkland Palace Garden.  It's got a great pleat in the front of the dress:


Nevermind how pasty white I am! hehehe.  I am hoping this sundress will bring out the sun!!


I love the stripes on this dress--they are pink and cream.  I've never sewn anything with stripes before but I really like it because it is very easy to match up!

I also really like the back of the dress.  Here you can see the pattern detail:


And in my dress:

Overall, I really like it!  There was a lot of hand sewing/hemming which took awhile but other than that it was pretty straight forward to put together.  I am looking forward to wearing it in a warmer climate next week when I go to Washington DC for a conference!
