Striped Jersey Tank Dress

My friend D is starting a blog as a creative outlet, which inspired me to do some sewing. I have a lot of projects that I start and then don't finish for one reason or another. I started this jersey dress in September 2014 and I stopped because:

1) I realized I was making a summer dress when it was fall and that I should totally make other things appropriate for the weather and
2) I had started to sew the trim (?? pardon my lack of knowing any sewing terminology) for the neck and arm holes, which was frustrating me since the fabric I was using was stretchy jersey and
3) I thought I had utterly messed up the fit by making a button placket in the front/trying to be fancy. 

Anywho, fast forward to now...it's January 2016. That's totally summertime, right?

       

Different apartments so different lighting (yes, I've moved since I started this project. It's been that long.) I finished the neck line and felt too exhausted to finish the arm holes so...I quit reason #2.

Placket didn't quite line up properly and the top seemed too low cut so...I quit reason #3. I wanted functional buttons, but the front flap kept flipping down. In order to make the top of the dress modest, I ended up just sewing the buttons in place. That seemed to semi-fix the misaligned placket. 

I like how it's flowing but I was told it was too shapeless so I cut a strip of fabric for a belt. Since the theme of this post was delaying a project out of sheer laziness, I wanted to note that true to form I did not finish the bottom hem. Not even a zigzag stitch because -let's be real- it's jersey and I couldn't be bothered.
