Swappin ain't easy

I'm putting the dress down until the weekend when I can sort out the info and my thoughts on how to fix it. I WILL BE printing out those comments and putting them in my pattern envelope as a future reminder. I really want to make this dress work as well as step up the quality in my sewing. Learning how to fix/avoid things will really help out. Check out my inspiration:

Banana Republic Dress $148

I absolutely adore the color/pattern, but I prefer the silhouette of the McCall's pattern.

So, thanks SO MUCH for the valuable input!

Today I needed some success motivation so instead of going to work (and getting paid) I stayed home all day watched Comedy Central, mostly finished another SWAP item, & started on a quilt project that I will get into at a later date.

All that's left is the hem, the waist button and I need to take some off the side pockets, they are huge! Another item crossed off the list! Here's my progress.
