As much as I love the tea gown I don't have the same feelings for the ball gown. It's a love hate. There is plenty I do like about it, and it has a ton of potential.... But it's not there yet. Thankfully all doable fixes, just not doable in the time frame I have.

What's causing me to throw in the towel tonight, is surprisingly not the sleeves! They took 3 mock ups but they went together easy enough. But when I tried everything on its to short... uGH!!! The way I want to trim it it's an easy enough fix to add 3 inches or so, but still UGH!!! I MAYBE able to do it tomorrow but I kind of don't even want to try. I have enough on my list of things to do.
So I think I'm going to call it quits for the night. Cool off, recharge, and then in the morning get all the other bits that I need/want to do on my machine done and re-evaluate if I have enough time to add the skirt extension. And if I don't, try and not be bummed by it and rock my pretty dress that has non-sleevil sleeves, and gorgeous trim.
Edited to add: went looking at fashion plates. There are some really short ones all within the same time range as my dress. From the whole foot to this one.
So maybe I shouldn't feel bad for now and fix it later....

After everyone's kind words I am going to leave it the way it is for now. I will probably lengthen it later. It might just be my modern tastes but I want to feel pretty wearing it. I am so excited for Saturday. Not the dancing part unless I find a group that has two left feet also and are willing to just laugh at themselves. :)
