Advance 9148

This was such a bear to sew because I could not find a needle that wanted to work with this fabric.
After trying five needles, the sixth one worked okay (not great).
 I also wanted to give up because of the wrap. The instructions say to use hook and eyes to join the back, but with my different measurements from the pattern and no fitting dummy, I knew that
would be iffy. I decided to add tie ends and that worked good.

I ended up really liking this dress, and I like that I can adjust the wrap to be over the bust or under.

This pattern might even be cute without the wrap.

Looking at the pictures, maybe we should invest in some new door mats for spring!
