I had some time off a couple of weeks ago and having time on my hands led to several ideas. . . . Some considerably better than others.
Idea 1: I should make something. (Inner Me: I totally should! I love making shit!)
Idea 2: I bet I could thread my own eyebrows. (Inner Me: I totally could! I'll learn how on youtube! This is a great idea!)
I'll talk about Idea 1 today as I do, indeed, love to make shit. I'm still trying to come to terms with Idea 2 as I do, indeed, occasionally lie to myself.
I think I originally cut this pattern out two years ago. Is letting it languish in my pattern books laziness-or something more sinister? (I don't really think it's sinister. Probably just lazy. Had the opportunity to use the word "sinister" in a sentence and didn't want to let it pass.)

I am working on view B because it has sleeves and does not have the neck ruffle. A basic Google image search suggests that View C seems to be the most popular version by far.

It's cute and all, but I'm pretty sure it's not for me. I don't think I have enough neck for a ruff and this particular neck ruffle makes me think of those dinosaurs with the neck thing.

I also don't think I have to poise to pull a neck ruffle off. I have this idea wearing a dress with all that going on around the collar would be a lot like feeling like you walked into a cobweb without being able to find it . . . like all the time.
I'm uncomfortable just thinking about it..
View B is more my style and might result in a dress I feel comfortable enough in to actually wear. The fun part, is figuring out how to make this bad boy fit.
