The Circus Dress!

I dunno why I insist on calling this my circus dress, since nothing about it is overtly circus-y. That's just what the stripes make me think of for some reason. Anyway, it's done! Here's the pictures. Which were taken in the middle of the afternoon on what everyone was calling the hottest day of the year, so forgive the weird squinty-faces. 

Here's a close-up of the top, which is probably my favorite part. I almost didn't add this part, because I got lazy. But I'm glad I did now. Disregard the strings where I haven't gone back and taken out some basting yet. 

And just for kicks and giggles, here's a picture of a butterfly I took while standing out there in the sweltering heat.
