Ah, yes, the beginning . . . it's a very good place to start, I hear. In this case, the beginning is all the way back in May. I was lucky enough to be chosen as a pattern tester by Tasia over at Sewaholic. If you aren't yet familiar, she is a wonderful pattern designer based in Vancouver, B.C.
The pattern I tried out was an extremely lovely dress called the Cambie. The dress itself is adorable and has pockets! You know I love that! The pattern was an absolute dream to put together. If you have been wanting to try your hand at making a dress this, kittens, could be the one. You can purchase patterns on the Sewaholic website or in select fabric shops. I will be using this pattern again. Be on the lookout.
So, I made this very cute dress way back when, but what with wedding planning and all, the finished project was swept aside until now. I wouldn't have premiered the dress until October anyway - which makes me roughly 3.5 months behind schedule. A mere 3.5 months. Nothing at all, practically.
So things we know: 1) Cambie Dress = awesome! 2) It's my October Dress. Yay! 3) Weddings are stressful and time consuming. 4) Pockets are the best. 5) Lack of time makes for cheesy photo backdrops.
Things you don't know: 1) Shoes are optional.

P.S. I made this dress a bit too roomy. It's my fault - I tend to overestimate my size/don't believe the tape measure - and has nothing to do with the pattern's size chart. ANYWAY, if there's a lucky lady out there who might be interested in a floral printed Cambie that happens to be a size 10/12, shoot me an email.
