#MeMadeMay Day 31 — today was #LosAngelesFrocktails so I wore my #UptonDress out on the town!

The pattern I used was a mashup of the #Cashmerette #UptonDress and #MansfieldDress. I added spiral steel boning to the bodice, a waist-stay, and a hand-rolled hem for the skirt. I’ll post some detail pics soon.

I’m continuing to make some excellent progress on my Cashmerette #MansfieldDress / #UptonDress mashup. I’ve got the lining attached to the bodice and added boning channels along the princess seams. Hoping to make quite a lot of progress on this over the weekend! #sewingsaturday
