In hindsight perhaps it's a bit plain and could have used a few more rows of trim? I think it looks slightly better in person than in the photo, however.
The pattern is well-written. My only arguments with constructing this dress were the moments when the fabric decided to pleat itself horizontally into a horizontal seam and I had to rip out a section and resew it. Other than that (and running out of ribbon halfway through), I've absolutely no complaints. I will probably make another version of this in the future.
I have also survived Cake Week! Squiddle and Jazzy have birthdays three days apart, so a cake for each of them, plus a bigger cake for the family party yesterday. All three cakes ended up looking more or less like this, except differently shaped (one square, one star, one circle):
And I went to the CTA sewing room sale where I might have spent $42 on the $2/lb fabric and $19 on notions, a couple embroidery frames, and a finished embroidery piece.... ^_^;; Oh well. More stuff to sew!
Since the braiding foot has finally arrived, I'd better get to it, and work more on that Cape Island dress, made out of the same fabric as the Fiesta dress. Onward!
