Size up

 Sooo...when I sewed this dress in 2016, it was one size too small. I made the mistake of thinking the finished measurements on the pattern envelope would fit me fine, but it ended up being too tight. I still wore this dress a few times though coz I do love the style...great for casual outings, you know?

Well, now...I think it's really time to make another one, and the right size at that. I would like to think that it's just the dress shrinking but no...I'm sure it's all the eating I've done over Christmas and Chinese New Year. I'm pretty sure that if I sneeze while wearing this dress, I'll probably be like Incredible Hulk and break all the seams...ahem.

 Or I can also just try to lose the weight...huhuhu

old dress I sewed using Tilly and the Button's Bettine dress worn with no-name leggings and Vans sneakers
Onward and upward!!!

I love how the color of your hair coordinates with your dress. Yes to making a new one! You don't need to lose weight :)

It actually looks like it fits you pretty nicely, but it can be tough trying on items between the months of November - February, I think. There are just too many holidays with good food. Try again in April, lol.

I love this dress, the style is adorable, and the color of fabric is pretty awesome too. I say make one in a bigger size. Losing weight sucks! lol

That is a cute dress and I'd never have known if was too tight on you - it looks nice in the photos! :)

Hope you are having a great week so far! First day of autumn here in Brisbane, although the weather is still very summer-like, ha!

I agree with the other commenters, the dress definitely doesn't LOOK too tight - but I know how it is when you feel uncomfortable in something you are wearing.

I love both the style & color of the dress Emmy. Keep both when you do make the other one. So if you lose weight or add a little extra you will have a great looking dress to wear no matter what.

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted!

Some analogue love #2

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
