But here it is!
The best part is the back, where it has a little belt that cinches your waist and fastens with a big bow in the back. Here's a closeup of the bow.

And my hand-stitched zipper. I had one the PERFECT size and color in my drawer. I love when things work out that way!

In other exciting news, I've been accepted as a contributor on Sew Retro! Stop by sometime and see what I and many talented other ladies are sewing.
For right now, I'm off to the thrift stores to see if I can find any vintage fabric or notions. Then tonight, I'm going to see my favorite band The Decemberists!
Oh, and Go Pack!

Congratulations, you are a great sewer!, I love those laces you put to your dresses in the hems, now I want to do that to the dresses I sew.
