It looks perfect for someone who has no hips, like me, to give the impression of having some. <br /><br />As for "ensemble", it's more accurate to say AHN-SAHM-BLEH.

I am very pleased with it BUT through all my excitement I totally forgot to write a step by step guide of how to make it!!! And am now struggling to remember as I wanted to re-make the skirt but in a different material.<br /><br />I was just wondering, if you'd beable to help me with this???<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />SoniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-39495072074211557852009-11-26T14:31:54.580-05:002009-11-26T14:31:54.580-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-11535728973657493352009-11-02T18:03:54.188-05:002009-11-02T18:03:54.188-05:00absolutely love it! the skirt is awesome. congrats...absolutely love it! the skirt is awesome. congrats!robin dameshehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11829817940796430874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-86031270833437075092009-11-01T21:10:22.758-05:002009-11-01T21:10:22.758-05:00Ok, you're probably bored by now with all the ...Ok, you're probably bored by now with all the gushing comments, but I had to add my own gush.
