Salsa Saturday...

So a friend of mine and I decided to go to Nacional 27 for dancing (they do Salsa on Fridays and Saturdays), and I was going to make a dress, picked a pattern, and then went shopping with a friend and thought, heck, why not buy one. But nothing was quite right, however, found a great pair of shoes -

So figured, I already picked a pattern, let's just find a fabric to match the shoes!!!!

Decided on McCall's 6027.

Decided on View B

Funnily, the shoes she's wearing in the pictures are kinda similar to the ones I bought!

So far got done with a little more than half, still need to do the lining and finish up some of the grommets (the flouncy inset parts of the skirt). It's coming out pretty cute! Too bad we went to Nacional on Saturday, but when my sister gets back, I'm sure we'll try again =)

And zipper's are cool.

I'm still amazed that I bought a 4 yard long piece of fabric. Then I cut out pieces from a pattern. Then I sewed them together, and now I have half a dress! And it REALLY looks like a dress! Super cool.
