More Cambie

Ok, so I installed the zipper and lining and now I love the cut of this dress! Once I realized I could fluff out and tack down the sleeves to cover that oh-so attractive bit of armpit pudge, I was on like donkey kong. Here's a crap photo, taken by a nine year old so no hating! :)
Also a close up of how *perfectly* aligned the piping is on the back, cause a girl's gotta brag sometime!

Simplicity 2588, the second!

I swear, I love piping so darn much! I'll be buried in a piped coffin if it's up to me. Anyway, here's the next incarnation of my favorite dress pattern.
And how does it feel to successfully install my first invisible zipper?

Oh yeah! Like I'm a rock star!!
I've been avoiding these things for SO DARN LONG, but they are so super easy that now I'm embarrassed I waited so long! There are so many easy tutorials online, I encourage you to give it a shot.

Somewhere on my camera is a photo of how the pattern on the back perfectly matches up on either side of the zipper, I'll have to dig it up because I'm just so proud I could pop.
