I am making this dress today.  It has a square neckline and is sleeveless, so it needs facings.  You can Create your own facings from the pattern piece. Here are some photos on how I do this using this bodice. Easy! Cut out the arm and neck exactly as in the pattern. How far down to make the facings... My rule if thumb is stop above the bust line. This one is about 3 inches below the neckline. Draw an arc to the mid shoulder  line. This one could go a little lower because you can see after it's stitched and turned it will be narrow right at the corner.  Then draw another arc down to about 3 inches below the arm seam. You can play with the arc shape.  Here is the cut out front bodice one piece facing that will finish both the neck and the arm holes.  Here is the back facing. The arc shape is up to you.  This saves making an entire lining.  Happy Sewing!

I just could not bear the thought of being indoors! I took a day for myself and setup outside in the beautiful fall Virginia weather.  This dress is cotton with orange elephant buttons and rick rack over tan. This goes nicely with an orange ombré silk indian scarf I just bought. Did you ever sew a whole dress to match a scarf? Insane.

My life has changed so much in the last 6 months that I can hardly make heads or tails of it. I can certainly say that my life has been enriched in every area since I started mediation, prayer, fasting, and eliminating negativity. I can handle stress better! Sewing was always a way to help me with stress, and it still is! Just now it's even more relaxing! I am still Suzanne on the outside. Still a peacock in a pigeon city....still so different and so pretty....All you see before you is still mine....only now my inside is Divine. I am still sewing! I am currently working on a spring wardrobe comprised of a few jackets and dresses, all of which are interchangeable with each other. The color wheel is made up of browns, pinks, whites, greens.....well heck....let's just say it's all the darn colors, but I make em work! I am basically making the following in 1950s fashion styles: - lime green sundress -sugar skull jacket with white background and multi color flowers - gold linen...
