A few people came up to me on the day and said they liked the dress but most of the girls were in tiny shiny minis and I felt very out of place.... but maybe that was a good thing...<br />fancypants: I did make the hairpiece, on the morning of the races haha. I found some great peacock feathers and black feathers and kind of stuck them all to a comb. it looked prettier than the photos...<br />Heather: I never would have guessed you had a tattoo! thats great. I have 5. but they are mostly hidden so good spotting!<br /><br />The fabric was so nice to work with, and really flattering to wear because of the stretch. Cant wait to go back to tessuti, Planning a trip there this weekend with stops also at The fabric store on brunswick street and a vintage fabric store that my lovely man discovered for me.... so look out for that post...The Long & Winding Bobbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14658194250368257881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635660328218813339.post-28154385091945216142010-10-25T08:45:45.360+11:002010-10-25T08:45:45.360+11:00gorgeous, you did a great job.

You look so pretty it really makes me want to sew a dress for myself it has been awhile since I have done this. Is that a tattoo on your ankle that I spy? I am wondering what it is I have a few on my arms. I get a kick out of them. Everyone is always surprised when they see mine, I guess most people don't peg me as the sort to have them lol!! and I seem to keep adding to them hehehe!! <br />Great Pictures hope you enjoyed your event!! ~HeatherLife In a Little Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956205013654044439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635660328218813339.post-41216992805802021552010-10-23T00:38:17.837+11:002010-10-23T00:38:17.837+11:00Just found you through Sew retro.
