The black and white strapless dress is just so cute and I would like to make my bridal dress looks the same (just more white/ivory than black).<br />Could you please tell me where I can find it?<br /><br />I also wanted to know what are the patterns presented in your book (or an idea: skirts, dresses, pants...) because in France and Germany I can'y find a store where I can buy your book. Amazon is the only option but I wanted to scan a bit the book before buying it.<br /><br />Sorry for my english, I'm french ;)<br />And thanks for your blog, I love it!<br /><br />DomiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-67481359478363270362012-09-26T17:22:21.929-04:002012-09-26T17:22:21.929-04:00Parabéns! fico muito feliz por você, tenha certeza...Parabéns! fico muito feliz por você, tenha certeza que tu tens uma fã aqui no Brasil, eu...bjsmorangoechocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846025748915329383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-27931270574845494632012-09-25T02:11:05.218-04:002012-09-25T02:11:05.218-04:00Wish I could have attended!
