    It needs a good pressing, but other than that, you’ve made a super-awesome first dress! The colour is fantastic on you :D

    Definitely wear it out! And it is completely normal to get very excited about making your own things and about other people commenting on them – I still do! This one looks fab and very impressive for a first dress! x

      i wore it tonight! it survived alcohol so it’s a keeper. moreover people gave me compliments and they couldn’t believe that i took up sewing when i told them that i made the dress myself! most of my friends are calling me granny but i’m proud of my new hobby!

      Its normal to feel proud! I love it when people comment on my clothes, either on here or out.a woman came over to me in spaim and said she never comments om anyones dress but mine was so gorgeous she had to.her face when i said i made it was priceless and it made my night. keep sewing x
