Dressed and impressed!

Tried on the dress this morning - I've bluffed it with the collar, but nevertheless, I am extremely happy with my work:

Honestly, it's not quite like the image in the pattern book - probably because yet again I didn't use exactly the right wool or needles; it's not as long or as loose (although a few turns in my washing machine may alter that!), and not really even a 'dress'. But I still like it a lot and have finally made something I can wear out of the house without any trepidation (except the possibility my seam sewing may fail...)

Hurrah!


Wool: Sirdar Tropicana cotton effect DK in Taupe
(used less than 500g, including sewing seams!)
