You have GOT to be kidding me...
First of all...it is 3:48 AM right now. I am up with some lively bowel issues...I have a colonoscopy AND endoscope at 8:30, and before you go in, you have to drink only clear liquids the day before and drink this medicine that makes you 'go' more than I care to count. I am working on the last few doses of the medicine, it's an entire gallon! And it's gross, my gag reflex has been giving me grief, it's a bit revolting, that's the only way I know how to describe it. Anyway, half a tube of neosporin, three rolls of toilet paper, and half a box of kleenex cottonelle wipes, little sleep, frequent breaks to 'go' make me a grumpy camper, not to mention that in a few hours I am about to be totally violated! Hopefully though they will be able to find some answers!
Second of all, I love to sew, BUT I don't do patterns, I make SIMPLE things with straight seams mostly and some other fun stuff, but I have been afraid of patterns, they never turn out right for me. Well, I decided I needed to get over it. I inherited some fabric from my Aunt Marilyn, she's a gem and saved me a TON of school teacher stuff when she retired, and some vintage fabric from the 1950's and such. So I fell in love with this fabric, and I had been saving this pattern for just the right material...I am SO proud of my accomplishment, PLUS this is not only the CUTEST dress I have ever seen, it is the MOST comfortable dress ever, I want to make like five more and wear one every day, it is so comfy and cute, talk about a double wammy!!!
I decided to make the straps a bit wider than the pattern said, and I added the ric rack :)
I love the colors in this dress so much!

Wow Court, what a beautiful dress!! :) Good luck today!

Good luck today...I'll seriously pray for you, that sounds awful!
I am thinking of you today Honey. I know you will be glad when that is over!
Good job on the dress--I am very impressed--especially with the zipper! and the rick rack is the perfect touch--also the green polka-dot.You look darling. i hope you wore that when you went in for your test so they could see how cute you really are!
Okay- you did AMAZINGLY on the dress! So good! It looks like something you buy from a really REALLY stylish store! You look GREAT in it! What pattern did you buy for that? I love it. Really- will you let me know what brand and pattern number it is? I'm so sorry you have to go through all the medical stuff. No fun..at ALL. Love you!
such a cute dress!!!! I love it. you did an awesome job
Cute fabric and cute dress!! I admit though, the bottom was not quite what I expected from first seeing pictures of the top. I thought it was going to be shorter (about knew length) and a little more A-line. It's very cute though! Love the wider straps and rick-rack addition.
Oh, and congrats on the job!! :)

Court, I love that dress! You are awesome, it is so bright and cheery just like you. Congrats on the new job too, they are luck to have you. I had fun reading and catching up on all the fun things you have been up to.
love ya
Oh I hope everything goes ok. I had an endoscopy too and it was no fun. I'll be thinking about you!
gorgeous fabric, gorgeous dress, and of course, gorgeous girl! Nice job! You're more brave than I am...I never sew for myself. Scaredy cat!
and good luck with the invasive procedure. I totally feel for you!
you are AMAZINGLY talented!!!! I love it. teach me, please!
Oh my gosh Courtenay! That dress is soooooooo cute! And you did such a good job! You're such a good sewer! That fabric is so cool, I love it. You are really lucky you got all that fabric from your aunt- it's like the style everyone is trying to imitate with fabric today. So beautiful. And love the rick rack touch- ok- looked at the above pictures, that is the cutest lemonade stand I have ever seen. I feel so bad for your bowel problems, I feel your pain. However, I don't feel the pain of colonoscopy, I am so sorry, and I hope it went ok. I love you
AND- I feel like I always say this, but you are so beautiful. I hope you realize how gorgeous you are. Really.
Gorgeous dress! I love it!! I am totally untalented at sewing patterns. It looks like you did a great job!
