Nearly finished first version of the dress pattern. Really like how it turned out. Love the fabric.
The dress form has a shorter upper body than me, that's why it looks a bit too long.

That is beautiful! Looks like it's made of china.

@HeatherMJ Thank you!
Yeah, those are quite handy, but they have sometimes some weird proportions. Mine has quite a flat butt.

@SewingforyourLife how nice to see a lovely, fitted dress! How I miss the days--decades ago--when we wore dresses every day to work, out doing errands, to school, outside the home.

Well, i love trousers too. There would be a lot of things i couldn't do the way i wanted, if i had to wear dresses every day. Jusz yesterday i was nearly the whole day in the garden, working in the dirt, or up in the apple trees...

But for special occasions a dress like this is really nice indeed!

@SewingforyourLife believe it or not, in the 60s, 70s, secretaries, teachers , store clerks, and office workers wore dresses to work every day along with complementing shoes, accessories. At my college in late 60s/early 70s, women were not permitted to wear slacks.

I know. My mother wasn't allowed to wear anything else to work than a white blouse and a skirt. It changed later.
And nowadays she only wears trousers and/or jeans
Thankfully my generation was amd is able to choose what to wear.

@SewingforyourLife the really sexist part of the no-slacks-on-campus rule was that trousers were not immodest; we wore miniskirts in those days. No, the problem with slacks was that girls dressed like men--not ladylike.
