Chris and I went to the annual techsmith party this weekend and got all dressed up. It was a great event with amazing food, entertainment, dancing, games, more food. The theme for the night was New York City Black and White. Chris bought a much needed black suit (very hot) and I bought a top and made a skirt. Which I am very proud of because the top was only $7 and the skirt fabric was $4.50 (for 3 yards!)
I will definitely make my skirts in the future. Not only was it pretty easy (3-4 hours) but after I did a couple alterations to the pattern, it fit me better than any skirt I have ever worn. I added 7 inches to the length because I wanted the hem to float over the floor and not even show my feet. Most normal length skirts hike up and that drives me crazy. I also altered the thigh and knee area to be more fitted. Clothes, epecially formal clothes, are not meant to sit down in all night long. The best thing about it - I was so comfortable.
