I have always thought about how great it would be to wear cute dresses every day like girls in the 50s. I mean, it's ONE contained outfit. No thinking at all. 

I have such a hard time finding dresses that fit me properly, so now I can make these dresses myself because I can sew. I took the plunge and bought this dress pattern on etsy here. How hard can it be, right? I'm a smart person. I can read and follow instructions.

Ha! Look at this!! It looks like blueprints for a house or how to build a computer. This might take quite a bit of time. I might have to bring in my Mom, the big guns! The the craftiest lady I know. She's made elaborate gowns and things. She must pass on some of her knowledge. If only I can steal her away from some of her other activities.
