I think my first dress turned out pretty damn cute

This is the willow dress by cinnamon daisy patterns sewn in a now discontinued 100% linen from blackbird fabrics. I sewed the dress in size K with a D cup. The only alteration I made was lengthening the bodice 2cm.

I’m not new to sewing garments but I had been avoiding dresses due to how complicated they felt in mind. I thought this pattern was a great intro to dress sewing because of the options for the cup sizes. The only thing I struggled with was the bust point was too high for me (typical of most patterns) and I wasn’t entirely sure how to bring the bust point down with this style of dart. I ended up lengthening the whole bodice because I needed it to be lengthened anyway and it worked out in the end. I really like how cute and flattering this dress is to my shape! I love the waist ties and how it accentuates my waist to hip ratio. Overall great sew.

NSV: My wife picked me up for the first time

29 F 5’7” SW 320 CW 215 GW ???

I have been obese since basically I was a toddler and I’ve always dreamt of my partner being able to pick me up. I’ve always thought that was so romantic. I always tease my wife by running up to her and saying “pick me up!” but obviously it was never possible. I still didn’t think it was possible when last night I ran into the backyard in the same fashion and she ran up to me and picked me up straight in the air! I couldn’t stop giggling like a school girl! I can’t wait until I’m light enough that she can carry me 🥰
