Vintage Vogue Dress 2267

First, a disclaimer.  I am not good at having my picture taken.  I asked Mr. Riley to take some pictures of me in the dress, and I told him I'd try not to look like a dork.  I'm not sure it worked, so bear with me.

This dress is a Vintage Vogue Pattern, No. 2267.

 

I actually made the dress 8 years ago.

 I put it away because I wasn't thrilled with the fit, and I never actually finished the bolero jacket.

 Then I had children.  Four of them, and it just didn't fit at all! 

 So, after much exercise and 8 years, I pulled it out of the closet, and what do you know?  It fit!  And didn't even look too bad.  So I took a look at the jacket. 

And I remembered why I never finished it.  The button holes had something to be desired.  But I decided to finish it anyway, I figured the buttons would hide the button holes, and if I kept my mouth shut, no one would know about the issues.  (except for all of you, now)

So a 'new' dress for me for Easter!
I also made the jewelry.  I'll show you that tomorrow.
Thanks for reading!
