I've sewn for years and years, and never had a problem reworking things, but you've got such a great imagination. Thanks for the inspiration, and I hope you've made great plans for getting out in this fabulous dress!marijkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701062298268608403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-14942182601768555402011-01-17T14:28:44.092-08:002011-01-17T14:28:44.092-08:00This dress is cute!
