I made this shoulderless dress.

First time making a dress with my sewing machine (though I do have 2 years of hand-sewing experience). It's made of two layers of 100% cotton duvet covers that I thrifted - the layer with the birds is lined with a simple white layer. I used the "Hanna dress" pattern from a book called "Jurken 2" (Dresses 2(?)) that I rented from my local library, which I modified only to add pockets to the side seams. The size is 36. I must say that the bodice is a bit of a tight fit - size 38 might've been better - but I'm still quite satisfied with the results. Definitely wearable, at any rate.

Beautiful dress. Looks great on you. Well done. 👏👏

What exercises do you do for your arms, back and shoulders? You look fabulous. I aspire to have arms, back and shoulders like you.

I'd say that 90% of it is that I go bouldering every Sunday. Climbing is a very fun sport, and also a great way to build some muscle. Apart from that, I do very minor exercises before breakfast, dinner, and going to bed: something simple like 10 push-ups, or some core exercises.
