It is not often that Howard and I get a chance to put on our nicest clothes. Usually it is in connection with an award ceremony and thus is an inherently stressful situation. On the cruise we got to dress up without stress and we quite enjoyed it.
Here is a better picture of my dress. I’m standing with Ellen Kushner.
I’m quite pleased with the dress. I found it at a thrift store. It had been overlooked because at the time it was a pants suit. I altered it to be a dress and made the shrug to match. One of the nicest things is that the base fabric is polyester knit, so I can wad it into a ball in my suitcase and it will still come out wrinkle-free and ready to wear.
You did an amazing job with the dress! I’m always impressed with your sewing skills!
Ooh, so gorgeous! So you took out the inner seam on the pants and resewed them into a skirt? Or was there more involved?
That’s pretty much it. I did have to trim off some excess fabric.
