Description

Adapting from Lydia basic T-shirt. I saw the similar dress from Jcrew website/catalog and I really like it. The starting price was 180 but now is on sale for only 50 bucks. Darn it, it was a pain in the neck to make this dress.

Taking sewing lessons!

This looks really good. I love the fabric.

Wow, great adaptation of Lydia! Looks great, so I guess it was worth the the pain in the neck, and you still paid less than those 50 bucks.

i looked up the dress you were talking about on the j.crew website, and i don't think you should feel bad at all! the color and sleeves on yours are much more beautiful and interesting. AND when you wear it, you won't run into anyone else wearing it :)

Wishing she was a size 44...

I absolutely love this. And I'd rather buy it from you than J. Crew any day!
