viola gets dressed

for those of you who don’t know, my husband got me a swanky dress form for christmas. i named her viola and thought it was high time i honored this great gift with a special outfit. i pieced it together without a pattern, which was easier than i thought. i wanted to give myself a challenge (like just finishing isn’t enough of a challenge!) so i thought i’d try to match a bold pattern. easier said than done, let’s just say. i don’t think viola and i will be winning project runway anytime soon, but i like how it’s shaping up so far. not sure about the cummerbund-y wasitband. it’s not done yet, but i’ll keep you posted!
