Finished Mad Men Dress

By on March 30, 2012 in Sewing

Sorry for the super cheesey cut out collage. I was in a rush to get this post up since technically Friday the 30th was YESTERDAY in Australia!

I would like to give Miss Julia a huge thank you for hosting such an awesome sewing challenge! I had a lot of fun planning this project, I only wish I blocked myself out more time to complete it. I may or may not have had time to hem the skirt bottom and sleeves ;)

Tune in to Julia’s blog on April 1st for one amazing Mad Men dress parade!

Have a great weekend everyone!

    It turned out so so great! The color and pattern is very unique – not very spring like but I totally like it :)

    Cute!!! I love that you used the extra fabric in your hair. I want to do that with some of my Truffle leftovers. Love your glasses!

    [...] year I had it narrowed down to three possible dresses to sew, but ended up going with a Trudy look. This time around I think I’m going to make the dress that was second runner [...]
