I picked out a pattern, and she picked out the fabric. We picked two kinds of fabric, one which will be made to match a sweater my mom will make for her. Oh the pressure! The other fabric was my practice round. I'm SO glad I practiced. I learned a lot, mostly what NOT to do with my first dress, but Audrey loves it nonetheless. In fact, she told me she loved it so much she felt like a princess. The ultimate compliment! I'm not so excited about it, but the next dress will be even better.
Here's my model...
Yes, I went with stripes on my first attempt, and messed up with the measurements on cutting (yeah, I think I jumped in too deep on this one). Thankfully the 2nd fabric is not stripes. Just don't look too closely. Regardless, I'm glad she loves it.

I think it looks great for your first dress project! Gee, I still make some now that don't turn out the way I like. Praticing is the only way to get better!!
I love it!!
(PS - I rarely use stripes, LOL) :)
I'm impressed! I have made curtains and hemmed pants, but I have not braved actually making clothing. Just think how spoiled we are! My mom made her own wedding dress! Now that was impressive. I guess I did not get that gene or else I just don't practice enough. Anyways, I love the fabric. Don't be too hard on yourself. It looks great!
