"The inbetween days" as we call them in Swedish. It's a long dinner dress in 1940s style. One of the inspirations was this:



Due to fabric restraints the skirt is gored and not gathered (it's 350 cm at the hem) and the sleeves are ordinary puff sleeves reaching to above the elbow.

The fabric is a dark green viscose twill, which I got from my friend Anna. I made a new pattern for this, or rather: mixed pieces from different dress patterns, so I'm not 100 % sure that it will turn out well yet. Hopefully it will. Today I have zig-zagged all the pieces and sewn the skirt so I think I'll relax with hemming the skirt now instead of doing something that demands thinking. And I can watch more "Red Dwarf", while hemming - I gave Rickard the three first seasons for christmas.
