Oh good. Noone's around to see them.
2 pictures of me in the dress. [link]
I did the neck binding, attached the other sleeve, and experimented with the leftover trim and the brooch that Ginger sent me.
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Little do you know, Aims. I'm heeeeeere.
The dress looks fantastic, and so do you. That's a great job for your first time. Hee! The Empress popped her sewing cherry.

Well, crap.
Thank you, luv.
There's still some taking in to do under one of the arms. And the hemming. I dread the hemming. I am afeared of the hemming.
Heh...you said cherry.

You are welcome.
And the hemming. I dread the hemming. I am afeared of the hemming.
How about using the iron-on hemming tape? No sewing, and if you only plan on wearing the dress once, then it will save you time and aggravation.

Aimee, this is going to sound awful but it's really not. You need to find some time very soon (we're gaming on Saturday) to let S fit you into the dress, it will make all the difference in the world.
Good job on the dress.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Oh good. Noone's around to see them.
WoopEEEEE! Ya know, I get off work early (only 11pm) and I finally catch up on the Bitches, and this lovely is waiting for me near the finish line!
Cool job Aimee!! Awesome job!!!

What is even happening?
Oh Fay, loads of ma~ to Wee Sister, and to you, for your travels home.
Tep, I'm glad you're going to the doctor.
Fay, ~ma to your sister and anti~ma to the "friend." I've got nothing on the Empress, but I shall smite from the coast closest to Europe: May his pecker turn black and soft like 2 week-old bananas, and then may someone use it and his nuts to make soft pecker nut bread, preferably with him still attached to the aforementioned pecker and nuts.
d, I grew up outside of the Harrisburg area, and I've got family near Philly.
You can take the girl out of Sicily, but you can take the Sicily out of the girl. Holy cannoli, Maria, that's a curse, all right.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Ugh. I hate waking up with my cranky-pants on.
Maria & AmyLiz, should you be in (my) town and need a respite from family, give me a holler!
Aimee, the dress looks really pretty.

Our wings are not tired.
Lovely Aimee! Yes, iron on tape is a nice way to hem. That is one looooong hem.
Off to breakfast with DH.....

Grrr. My first appointment cancelled, so I'm here an extra hour longer than I need to be. It's going to be a hurry up and wait kind of day. Maybe I can nap.
