Cupcake Dress Pictures

This is my pattern:

From a distance, by a fountain in City Park.

Closer. I think it's impossible to get a picture without the wiener dog in it.

Close-up of the bodice. Those are really buttonholes, although it it not necessary to use them to put it on.

The belt I made, which is really cute.

The back of the dress:

Sitting in the sun.

And, on a fun note, imitating the pose of fountain girl.

I am really happy with this dress. I think it needs one more snap on the side to close up the flap, but I am going to do that now and then wear it some time this week!

Thoughts?

Cupcake Dress Update

I know some people are bored with work-in-progress updates; if that's you, goodbye! :)

I have been sewing so slowly lately with school. School isn't overwhelming me like last year, but it is time consuming. Plus, I have had some unfortunate after club late nights- two times parents didn't come pick up their child until after 6pm- when the club ends at 4:30! We are legally not allowed to leave until the kids are picked up, obviously, so it was unfortunate!

However, I have made the skirt for my dress. Now all I need to do is to sew the skirt to the bodice, make two buttonholes and sew on the snaps and buttons. I hope I can finish this tomorrow!

Dress overall- remember, the skirt isn't attached, so it won't be crooked.

The giant, awesome collar.
The buttons I chose for it out of my stash.
The many-pleated skirt. They are in little groups of three, maybe 30 total?

It definitely is now the Cupcake Dress because it is so poofy and pink. I will look like a big dorky cupcake in it. I doubt it will help me look 26, and not a middle school student, but oh well! You only live once!
