With the blue in the background I think you can rightly go with "trans-seasonal" lol. I love your approach to sewing. It seems as though you do not give up and make things work!

Congratulations on getting back down to your pre-pregnancy weight. I'm still working hard on that. It's so difficult! I can completely relate about how things appear to be in different places. My body is COMPLETELY different after having my little one and fitting my body has really been challenging recently. I hope Baby Jane is doing well.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739833206140136336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-35829333506875937432014-02-06T09:06:55.059-05:002014-02-06T09:06:55.059-05:00I like your "design" changes to the dres...I like your "design" changes to the dress pattern! They work with the fabric and with your style so I say win, win! As for the changing body shape - ummmm yeah, you will be adjusting patterns from now on. Even though I have a set of TNT patterns every couple of years I have to make a small change to something because my body has shifted once again. You did good though and should make this again with the designer changes it would probably be really comfortable in the spring/summer! :)Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-29556197950018084012014-02-06T07:55:19.342-05:002014-02-06T07:55:19.342-05:00it's an adorable dress, and i love the bow tie...it's an adorable dress, and i love the bow tie, so i think it was a lucky accident that regular collars never happened :) also, love the denim cuffs! something happened and my bloglovin is not getting 'feed' from your blog lately, i'm so lucky i stopped by and noticed thatmokoshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271002958444738625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-20053746983108757782014-02-06T07:08:19.039-05:002014-02-06T07:08:19.039-05:00I love that bow tie...that's what I noticed fi...I love that bow tie...that's what I noticed first of all, so maybe the collars not working out was a good thing?
