Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

Example #473 of just how obsessed with this freaking webcomic I really am

This was for a uni assignment. I could have done anything. I could have based this off any designer. But no. No, I had to go and choose TPoH, sketch dozens of dress designs, spend way too long researching 50s fashion, draw a pattern from scratch, spend countless hours and trips to the craft store making the blasted thing, unpick and re-sew the zip countless times (that thing was the bane of my existence istg), get headaches and a sore back and stab myself with a needle a thousand times, and what do I get out of it?

….a dress that fits me near perfectly, is damn comfortable, and looks amazing. Just in time for summer to hit, too.

Planning on making a jacket to match (based off RGB’s blue and red one) when I have the money and patience to do so :)
I will no doubt regret this decision greatly.

EDIT: PLEASE CLICK THROUGH THE PHOTOS TO SEE THEM PROPERLY. TUMBLR IS ONCE AGAIN BEING STUPID AND NOT DISPLAYING THEM RIGHT.

Edit 2: Yes, I know I got the colours the wrong way around. Too late to fix now.
