First Dress!

As you know, I've been wanting to get better at sewing. About a month or so ago, I realized I had NEVER followed a sewing pattern, I generally make up whatever I'm making, so....I decided to buy a dress pattern and some fabric to make it.
The dress took me about a day to sew up, when I finished, I was pleasantly surprised that it fit, and looked good! I was thinking..."Oh my cotton-fields! It actually looks like a dress!" (Yes, I was surprised it looked like a dress) haha...... I honestly didn't know what to expect....first time following a pattern, and I'm pretty new at sewing in general!
This is the front of my dress
Anyway......I'm really happy with the way it turned out and look forward to making another one. The next one I make will be a different color and print, a little shorter, and the sleeves will be different! I'm finding that, the more I sew, the more I want to sew! =D
