Dress finished!!

I finished up my dress today. I can't decide if I'm disappointed or happy. The dress doesn't fit. Last night I was thinking it was the pattern and it was just a weird fit. The teacher said that most garments come out too big.

Today I took out the tape measure and measured myself. Yeah, it doesn't fit because in the five weeks since I last measured myself I've lost between a 1/2 inch to an inch. Definitely good news! I'm happy with the process, and I think I did a really good job. It's just disappointing that I can't wear the fruits of my labor!

UPDATE: A couple of friends kindly helped me alter the dress so now it fits. Yay!!!
