Victoria's Red Dress

Victoria wanted to make this red dress for her first day at school, but time and circumstances foiled that plan.  Last night she set about finishing it, but the pleats at the waist just wouldn't behave, and she gave up in frustration, remarking as she turned off the light on her machine and exited the sewing room, "This is why I crochet!"

Well, one mustn't let a young seamstress get too discouraged, sooo...  I finished it for her, redoing the waist, putting in the zipper, and hemming it.


The bolero came from the Goodwill, and was exactly the finishing touch it needed.
