This is my first attempt at 1) sewing/constructing a dress 2) installing a zipper 3) doing any sort of darting. I feel pretty good about the result. I made it for my sister in a soft camel-colored wool (it may look a little orange in the pictures due to my pink walls).

The only thing that doesn’t look orange in that first picture, are the white birds ! But, pink walls or orange walls aside, you did a fabulous job !!! The dress looks very nice and fits your sister beautifully, well done !!

Did you use a wool mix or pure wool?
