Last October I showed you this Roobios dress and expressed my unenthusiasm at the finished thing and that I was considering adding some trim so that the style lines of the dress were more visible. Well, I did that shortly after the post and it transformed the dress!
Since then the dress has become a staple of both my summer and autumn wardrobes, and has even received some unsolicitations from strangers when I've been wearing it out and about.
However, one thing that has been incredibly disappointing about this dress is that the underlining that I used has shrunk in the wash since I made it, despite having pre-washed it before I made the dress. This means that all the seams (the pocket bags in particular) are all 'crinkly' and the neckline is a bit distorted. It's still wearable but not as good as it was when freshly made.
In future projects I want to remember how adding some simple trim transformed this dress. I've not really used much trim before, but I think I need to try incorporating it into more projects. (Also piping! Must try piping!)
