If that is your first draping project, I cannot even imagine what comes next.<br />Thanks for sharing all of it, including and maybe especially the brief setback on the darts. You remind me to take it easy and think my way through a mistake.

I'm really speechless... this is just so beautiful and meticulously executed. I'm in awe! <br /><br />Thanks for the horsehair braid tutorial, btw (I'm a little late with that... my computer was down for a couple days!). I am itching to try it now... I've been meaning to make a circle skirt, and one that is super fully and swirly would be fantastic! <br /><br />I can't wait to see what you do next with your new-found skills!!!<br /><br />♥ Casey<br />blog | elegantmusings.comCaseyhttp://elegantmusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-43558540589213152272010-06-29T06:35:02.719-04:002010-06-29T06:35:02.719-04:00Fantastic dress!

I...I'm so impressed with how the skirt falls... I'm not sure if it's the horsehair braid or what, but it just looks to sit so perfectly. A look that I always assumed would need some form of petticoat or somthing.<br /><br />In short, well done! You've certainly convinced me that I need to try some of these techniques on my next projects.Stephhttp://orchidsinmay.typepad.com/orchids-in-may/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-90652311176204232552010-06-29T05:08:41.210-04:002010-06-29T05:08:41.210-04:00very impressive stuff, your commitment really show...very impressive stuff, your commitment really shows, you're learning super fast!sophhttp://stitch.hellooperator.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-47506548124112344782010-06-29T04:29:25.555-04:002010-06-29T04:29:25.555-04:00love love love love love it.
