I loved the process and would love to repeat it but I don't think there will be too many balls at Uni. I saw your daughters dress some time ago when I was researching my project. It is definitely helpful to read other peoples experiences in sewing such complicated and precise items of clothing and I never get tired of looking at pretty dresses anyway!fabric epiphanieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315635356310954354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8103444788040259884.post-87386482530656410922014-08-26T21:54:47.065+12:002014-08-26T21:54:47.065+12:00She was certainly happy.
