Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, so instead of starting a new project I decided to finish an old one, Project #4. I'd left the dress unhemmed since I put it down in January and with a zipper only half-installed. I've been making more and more full skirted retro-style dresses. I love the dimensions, but the hems take hours to sew and I just keep putting it off until I really need to make a good impression.

I did kind of a cruddy job with the invisible zipper, but I might just need to bite the bullet and actually buy a invisible zipper foot instead of hand-stitching (poorly). Still, I love this dress and I'm going to have a good time wearing it out.
