Sewing this dress has been a bit like the title of this post. It is taking ages to make due to all the unpicking I have had to do.
First I had to put darts in on the bust, then I took out the zip (totally wrecked that one).
I had extra fabric on the back so I decided to shir the back.....the elastic kept getting caught in the bobbin and was almost more effort them it was worth.
The dress still didn't sit right at the back, but at least the front looked good, even if it is a little low cut. I may have to do something about the over exposed front yet.

I made a stretchy gold band to put around the waist/under-bust area. It did nothing the first time i put it on. The second time, it looks a lot better but the back still looks funny.
I am taking a break from it for now! I need to refresh.
Oh, and my machine was skipping stitches on the zip-zag.
There are a few other fiddly things that need fixing up on it also. I guess this is what i get for not using a pattern!
