Although I've missed a lot in my newborn haze here lately. I love the back of this dress. I hope you've worn it now. It's perfect for summer. I also love the striped bodice on your last post. Hope you made it a maxi!liza janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916364137307894200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815649645559172659.post-11366851523911622192013-06-14T15:59:27.261-04:002013-06-14T15:59:27.261-04:00thanks!! so i still haven't worn it outside of...thanks!! so i still haven't worn it outside of the house though... ha ha. just didn't end up in love with it =(soisewedthishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132339220603233156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815649645559172659.post-30899942536963528012013-05-20T14:56:43.344-04:002013-05-20T14:56:43.344-04:00Very cute!

I have had to toss the grain also in converting a wedding gown into a Christening gown as there just was not enough unmarked fabric when following the grain. The gown is heavily beaded and embroidered and has me talking to myself! Out of one close fitting gown I had to get a boy's romper (without the beading and embroidery of course, thank Heavens for the plain satin inside the gown), a long Christening coat and a gown. When I am finally done, I never want to see beaded/embroidered poly satin ever again.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926160625275737447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815649645559172659.post-43860604086910243362013-04-26T13:35:13.194-04:002013-04-26T13:35:13.194-04:00Love what you did with the direction of the print!...Love what you did with the direction of the print!
