MeMadeMay 2019 Day 3

“MeMadeMay (2019) day 3. Already running out of clothes, lol. This is the first set of photos I have of this dress that shows the whole thing! The fabric is a gorgeous Anna Sui (headstock) rayon crepe from Mood Fabrics and the pattern is a late 60’s/early 70’s Simplicity. This might be the nicest thing I’ve ever finished, technique-wise.”

The dress is, in fact, Simplicity 9800, from 1971. And it was really beautiful and is finished very nicely. And it does still exist! But I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to put rayon in the dryer. So it is a pilling nightmare. I still own it and wear it though. Also, this particular May was super cold, and so I’m wearing my coat in a ton of the photos, and it’s just reminding me how absolutely much I *loved* that coat. I wore it until the whole back was threadbare.

And! Photos are once again in the middle of the sidewalk on Rockwell.

As always, if you’re new to the blog, or to MeMadeMay, you can read my overview here!
