One Dress, Three Thoughts
Gray: Now, wait … was it, “you put your RIGHT foot in?” Or does the left foot come first?
Blue: Goshdarnit, there’s a cigarette burn in this dress, too. I’ve got to stop smoking in the broom closet.
Pink: I’ve had my mouth open like this for forty-five minutes and I haven’t caught a fly yet. Ha! Another thing Mother was wrong about!
A Dress A Day 
I love the shape of this bodice, Erin. In my stash of old photos I have a snapshot of an older woman wearing a dress with this bodice shape. She looks quite elegant.

Erin – I am making a Vogue 8811 and wanted to add pockets…I thought you had some tips on that but couldn’t find it. Am I just imagining that?
thanks, Leah

oh, I didn’t realized they’d done a retro version of that pattern! I may have to pick that up!
I think I linked to this great tutorial from Pins and Needles, last time: http://scpbanks.blogspot.com/2008/03/swap-extra-inseam-pocket-and-invisible.html

It’s a really nice pattern and so far its going together nicely (with alot of fitting help from a workshop). Thanks for the link for pockets, the dress needs them.
Here’s the link for the dress http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v8811-products-22893.php?page_id=174
