Admitting Defeat

I think I have come to the end of the road on the Christmas dresses. I made the change to the black bodice, but it stretched out so, looked awful, I don't know, it just looks homemade.

Both need bias tape finishing (handwork) which can be done in the evening in front of the TV. Maybe tomorrow I will get the remaining pants cut out, bringing her total to a possible 5 pairs of capri/shorts for school
