Vintage Vogue 7383 Part II
Dress before washing
After washing
Button detail
Top
This dress looks TERRIBLE on me. The collar is too high, the shoulders & bust area are too big and the pockets are too shallow. The gathered top of the sleeve doesn't go well with the tailored feel of the dress and the too stiff fabric. I re-measured my dress form and realized that I had set the bust measurement too big (wishful thinking?). It wasn't off by much but enough to throw the fit off. To add to the blunder, I had added a little extra "just in case".
I cut the buttons off and put it in a pile downstairs where I don't have to see it. What a bummer...
