Diagonal Dress Done

I finished it!  Simplicity 7075.  It looks like the pattern envelope except that I lowered the neck.  I can't stand stuff close to my neck anymore.

I've worn the dress this morning and even though I like it, it has some problems.  The center of the neck buckles out - perhaps it's called gaping but it definitely seems like buckling.  And a funny but irritating thing -- when I sit down it rides up...in the boobs.  It just kind of comes up and puffs out there!  I've started pulling it down in the waist each time I sit.  So, I like it, but it's not going to be a favorite.  I could always try and fix these problems and make it again but not right now.

I know you all like to see stuff on but my photographer husband isn't here and I can't seem to get a good mirror shot.  This will have to suffice:

See the buckling at the neck?  Oh well, I did have a lot of fun sewing it.  And that photo is in son #1's room.  I didn't realize how dirty the mirror was until I saw the photo!  Some white vinegar will clean it right up.

After sewing a few of these 1960's dresses they become a snap to sew.  So easy, in fact, I found myself looking at 1960's patterns with more challenging architectural seaming and details, but I tore myself away.  I don't need more patterns...I keep telling myself.
