Hand job

After weeks of procrastinating about my polka dot dress, I finally put the zip in. And I am so glad I took T's advice and did it by hand: while it took forever, it went really well! And I am considering always hand-sewing zippers in the future. The result looks much better than the ones I used the machine for.

I'm nearly done, only that the inside seams look terrible... I haven't yet decided whether to overlock or put a bit more effort in and use French seams instead. Secondly, I am also torn about whether or not to remove the sleeves again. They don't look quite right to me. And lastly, I will also need to lose a bit of weight, as it's a bit tight round my tummy... Other than that, I am quite pleased with it :-)
