Sewing: Anna Sui Dress

So if you've been keeping up to date with my blog, then you would know that I was attempting to learn to sew. I successfully finished a top off of a dress pattern as a size tester! So after finishing that, it was time to start on the dress!!

I found this fabric at Spotlight, it was on the clearance rack for $5p/m! BARGAIN!

I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do with the fabric, I just knew that I couldn't not buy it!! 

I was skimming through the pattern books at Spotlight and remembered eyeing off an Anna Sui pattern awhile back. Lucky for me they still had it, so I bought the pattern.

Here is a photo as I was cutting the pattern out:

I was able to do the top very easily, thanks to the practice I had with the tester!! 

The skirt however, was much, much, much more difficult! And at that point I had to call mum in for reinforcement ;)

Mum and I managed to finish it before she left for 8 weeks overseas! Which was good, because I took it to Sydney last weekend and wore it to my friend's 30th! 

I'm not 100% happy with the fit. It makes me look a bit frumpy... But if I wear it with heels it is ok.

I don't have a photo of the entire dress, but will post some photos from its first outing when I post about my weekend in Sydney! 

Next on the agenda is a maxi dress out of a really cute black and white print!
