I’ve spent MONTHS putting off finishing this dress bc the instructions for the sleeves were so confusing and I didn’t want to fuck it up. But then I’d been up since 2 am and I’ve TRULY run out of other things to work on so I spent like 3 hours trying to put together the thing at the end of the sleeve that has like a little pleat-slit-button deal and they did end up looking pretty janky but more importantly after all that work I realized i put the buttons on the same side of both sleeves so it would be asymmetrical. I abandoned the project in despair but like 5 hours later i just had a moment of brilliance where it occurred to me that I don’t HAVE to give the dress sleeves. It can be a sleeveless dress. No one ever has to know that it was supposed to have sleeves. Not all dresses have sleeves. This dress, which has been haunting me with its sleevelessness for months, is in fact nearly finished. Sometimes all you need to be truly free is to accept your limitations…..
