This month I chose to make a dress for Minerva Blogger Network. The sleeves on Vogue 9293 views C and F intrigued me. Also, I copied the styling on the pattern envelope for view D in making my dress.

The result is as expected a nice one, although I not sure if I like the length on the sleeves. I wonder if the full length would have been better or to shorten them to make them 3/4. I have the feeling they will grow on me as I wear the dress. It’s just me not being used to them for now.
