dress #2, state 5 (printed september 30, 07)
I keep thinking I'm going to retire this dress next because the high bodice is a little uncomfortable, so close to my throat. But every layer of ink I put on here makes me want to see it with more, more, more.
I think this is the dress I'm going to wear to my Gramma's for Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday. I've been waffling nervously on which dress to wear because my Gramma was (still is) a top-notch professional seamstress, and I don't want her to see any of my shabbier sewing attempts. But I think as long as I iron it first (something I haven't always been doing, even when the dresses come off the press hopelessly rumpled), this one will be perfect.

the visual texture is getting very rich. I could stare for hours at some of the closeups.
