January 30th: When I finished this dress, I considered it my opus. The double-layer bottom hem alone took forever (FOREVER), and I love the girliness of the lace and the picot edges on the top. And it fits. I will admit that it’s hard to wear it such that it looks flattering, always a problem with knitted dresses. It is certainly not flattering in the tummy or hip area, though when I fasten a cardigan over it it’s OK. It’s also just difficult to find the right occasion to wear a knit mohair dress that looks kind of like lingerie, but I do manage it. I still love it, though it’s more because I’m proud of the work and the style, rather than it being something that I wear often.
