Finished McCalls' 5555

Finished this shift dress. Came out ok, but about a size or 2 too big for me. So, if anyone makes this, go down at LEAST one size.

I made the belt a little different, I wanted a wider version.

If I make this again (which I doubt), I will use a thinner fabric than the knit I used. Also, the neck is quite a bit high for me. I think I may move on to another pattern, since there are soo many cute ones out there. This one made me miss my BURDA WOF projects, since the fit is soo good w/ BURDA, & so-so w/ the big 4.

Great Bookstore in Santa Monica

Went to the Santa Monica Promenade Farmer's market during lunch today & picked up some VERY fresh fruits/veggies.
On the way back to the apt., I stopped into Hennessey + Ingalls Bookstore.

They have a FANTASTIC section on fashion. Several shelves on textiles, several shelves on history of fashion, and even more on current fashion w/ books on EVERY designer you can think of. I could have spent hours, but I had to get back to work.
Would be a great place to get ideas on wardrobe design.
