retro dress and a week in Charleston, SC

So, I managed to finish my dress-in-a-week in 3 days!  And it was great, in spite of the fact that I had forgotten to wash the fabric before sewing.....oops.  It didn't shrink noticeably.  I wore it when we toured the USS Yorktown.  The only problem was it was so full the skirt dragged on the stepped ladders, and once a strong updraft threatened to blow it upwards.  But that was all.  It was quite comfortable overall.  Here's a picture:                                            

Ok, not so good picture.


That's how full the skirt is!
