Licorice dress is completed!

It's no secret that Joan from Mad Men is my favorite character on the show. I even have a Pinterest board dedicated to her and the cast! So when I saw the image below I knew that I wanted to make my Licorice dress look similar to hers.


 I can't look like Joan :( so I have to make dresses inspired by her hahaha. And of course I have her necklace! Off the topic of my dress, but did you watch Sunday's episode? She bummed me out.

 It's funny, while sewing this I did not like the dress at all. I liked the pattern, but hated the pink and purple combo (sorry, Joan!) and wished I had chosen a print like Tabatha's. Then when I was finished I tried it on and my opinion suddenly changed on the color. I am happy with the fit and I don't know what happened, but I like the colors now. My mind is all over the place!

I'm excited that this is my first project for Sew Cinematic!


Do any of you subscribe to Snippets? A recent tip was very helpful and I used it on this dress. It suggested that when you need to turn under a raw edge 1/4 inch to press (for the hem) do a line of basting stitches first, so you will know exactly where to turn it. Genius!
