first post! finally finished- Simplicity 4942

hi lovely ladies! i signed up here months ago but have had nothing to show until now (i did sew my first vintage dress last fall but my kids tell me it looks like i am wearing an old bedspread so i am hesitant to post that one:) i am fairly new to sewing (well, i have been trying to sew for years, it just doesnt come easy to me) and i love retro dresses (seriously addicted to Madmen!).  i have so enjoyed checking this site daily and being inspired by all you talented women!!   a little more info on the dress on my blog Hot Pink Potential
