OK, That's Better.

Three Olympic events and a good night's sleep later, the damage is undone. Fresh start in the morning today and now the V 8575 dress is finished.

And on the model.

I wore it riding my bicycle to new student orientation last night over cycling pants which I pretended were leggings (different shoes, of course). It was well over 90∘F. The Dry Flex knit seems to have done its job keeping me cool and dry while not looking too rumpled after the ride. It goes right into the rotation. All is forgiven.

  3. Surprisingly the dress looks much better with all the parts facing the right way. Wow. Who knew?

    Seriously, that is a great idea to make a dress out of performance fabric. You are brilliant. But you knew that already.

  5. Oh thank goodness, I was a bit worried after the last one that you might have trouble ripping the seams (with it being knit fabric and all) but it looks perfect-I really like that style on you (magyar sleeves?-those are cool).
