What was I thinking?

A few years ago I had an event to go to so I started to make Simplicity 2588.



The pattern looked like a good idea but when I actually tried it on, I knew immediately it wasn't a good idea.Thinking at the time that if I couldn't wear it, I might give it to my sister who was a high powered executive that could probably put it to good use.  In my mind she didn't seem thrilled so procrastination set in and I put it away and out of my mind in the what was I thinking category.


Actually, I know what I was thinking.  I'm still a thirtysomething with places to go.


Last week I was invited to join the Every Size is Beautiful Facebook page.  The catch was that you are supposed to submit a picture of yourself in a little black dress.  Except for my unfinished dress from days gone by, I don't have one.  Thinking about it now, if I follow their ideology, I should finish it as is and be comfortable in it.  Not quite ready for that.

This inspired me to dig out the dress and re-style it into something else.  I have a few ideas and I hope to have it done for the opening night of Stacy's Athens theatrical debut in Oklahoma!
