The top is inside out, I took off one row of lace and cut back the under fabric, it came down over my bum very snuggly 😊 the top came from the op shop.
This fabric came from Lincraft and cost $5.00. I pleated a little pinned and sewed, then had a little panic as I thought I had twisted the top, but I managed to sort it out.
Ta dah...one dress , slightly wonky hem line but I am happy.
Ok my first effort, I put the base on inside out...
So I corrected that and got the base sewn on only to find I now had it upside down!!!ðŸ˜ðŸ˜³ðŸ˜³
Finally got it together..yay!!
David was hanging out for dinner but I wanted to get the binding on ready for hand sewing.
Dinner has now been eaten, I am off to sew on the binding.
