Finished Project: Colette Crepe Dress

I finished my first dress! It is everything I had hoped for. The class I took at JP Knit and Stitch in Boston was a perfect way for me to venture into clothing territory with my sewing. I only have a few photos of the finished dress. These were taking at my cousin's wedding over the weekend. The dress is the perfect mix of a light summer dress and class that it fit right in with the wedding attire. My number one priority when dressing up is comfort and that things stay where they are supposed to. I highly recommend this dress for someone who wants to try a sewing challenge.
Here are the photos I have so far... I am too excited to wait until I have time for an official photo shoot in the dress.

Thanks to JP Knit & Stitch for the class and to Jeanne, our teacher. As I moved recently from Boston to Illinois and will soon be moving to Australia, this dress will surely make the cut of must keep clothing!

Dressmaking Update - Colette Crepe Dress Workshop

Dressmaking Update!
I began my class at JP Knit and Stitch Wednesday night. I spent the two hours cutting fabric and learning how to use a rotary cutter. After working with it, I don't know why I ever worked with scissors. Here are the ones we had available to us:
 The OLFA 28mm Rotary Knife
The OLFA 18mm Rotary Knife
I am not sure if these are the best out there, but they did the trick, wonderfully. Now I have the pattern cut out and am anxiously waiting for next Wednesday and our next class. Here is a photo of the fabric I am using and the pattern booklet:
