Almost a Dress

[atherleisure]

Friday night I finally cut out the 1940's dress I've been trying to work myself up to making for the last few weeks. I started sewing it Friday night and finished except for the hem yesterday. It's been hanging 24 hours now, but I'm going to wait until next weekend when I can get someone to pin the hem for me. It's a bit plain so I'm thinking I'll make one of those tatted collars from a book of 1940's tatting patterns I have. It depends upon whether any of the patterns allow for a back neck opening. They might since it was not at all uncommon.
