Yes, the instructions STINK! Thank goodness I had all the resources of those who came before me with this pattern. I think that was one of the reasons I shied away from this pattern for so long. It's kind of nice to not be rushed and to sew at a slower pace. Although I do have a deadline of next Saturday!
Oh, and thank goodness for a dress form. I really don't use it much but for this it was absolutely necessary!
I am a fairly spatial person (Multi-variable calculus was one of my favorite classes...NERD!) but this dress is still a tough one to visualize. All in all though it is coming along. I can see how the finishing will be fiddly but I am hoping...HOPING...it will be worth it and be as flattering as it appears to be.
Here's a blurry pic off my camera phone...it's showing up purple here but it's more of a burgundy/wine color. Nothing fancy fabric wise, just a plain old ponte blend.

Well it looks ok from this distance and the colour is great.
Looking good so far!
Great to have you back in active blogland. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result.
Oh! This is one of my favourite dresses. And yours is going to be GORGEOUS in that colour. Can't wait to see it on!
