Finding the humor

I have been working on this socialite dress for way too long. Thinking about it, picking it up then walking away. The other night I finally decided I would finish it and just be done! 

I attached the front yoke (after two failed attempts) and went to my mirror to see my handiwork...then I saw this: 

SERIOUSLY!! I tried so hard to center the pattern and this is what I came up with. My dress has eyes in the most unfortunate place. So at that moment I chopped off the top and decided to make a paper bag skirt from one of Sew Caroline's tutorials. 

This pattern will not win!! I'm thinking of starting fresh with a nice chevron, something that won't look back at me in the mirror!
