Ankara Dress+ Dodgy head tie..

   
I like this necklace better..
                                                                                                                                                            Hello!
Hope you are well...Here's a little story surrounding the completion of my new outfit. Hope you like it.!!
  So sometimes early last year, my friend and I purchased some yards of Ankara fabric-12 yards to be precise( 6 yards each). It was meant to be a traditional wedding costume but you know, stuff came up..we forgot about it.
  Late last year, around December, I decided to make mine into a dress for the Christmas service. Lol- I laugh when I remember why it wasn't completed in time for church- The electricity meter tripped off!!
I didn't know whether to cry or  to laugh :/  Anyway, that put PAID to my plans for having a 'nice' Christmas outfit.
     Okay now I thought well, here comes new year I should be able to do that as I was going to be away. Long story short....I was full of so much excitement that I cut my sleeves so small, I couldn't get my arms out of the dress, there was an error in the way I drafted the pattern :( So I abandoned it yet again!!!    
NB: can you see a trend here??-uh uhn! Procrastination :( 

    Until now! (drum rolls)!!! have I managed to complete it, made few adjustments along the way though.
And here's the finished product!!!!!


Thanks for viewing,
Funmi
