craftgrrl | I made a dress

[X-posted to a few sewing communities, sorry if you see it many times]

He're a couple of shots of the vintage repro dress I made myself to wear out yesterday.
It was a bit of a pain to make since the thing you can't tell from the pictures I am really tiny, 5' tall and about an American size 2 - 4, British size 6 or less, so I had to take the whole thing in an awful lot to get the tight slinky look I wanted. I was really pleased with it in the end though so I thought I would share.

Someone gave me a strawberry!
Mmm, I think I shall take a nibble...

Ooo! Its sharp!

Excuse the silly strawberry eating face but I included this one because you can see my little veiled fascinator better than in the first one.

I can't resist a beautiful pair of gloves I think I have about 100 pairs now and I found this pair in my collection which were perfect for this dress. They are wrist length ruched satin with teeny bows at the wrist.
And you can just about see my hand-made rolled gold and jet earrings that were made for my grandmother and given to me recently.
