I can't sew like that - she just taught me the basics, like how to thread a needle, lol - but I really admire anyone who can. That dress is BEAUTIFUL.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790241536943770700.post-42848858961298969592009-10-22T09:51:31.726-07:002009-10-22T09:51:31.726-07:00I had a formal when I was 5.

I remember wearing it from the time it was 'formal length' to 'tea-length'. Seems I must have just lengthened without gaining in girth.Iron Needleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04848627330939129750noreply@blogger.com
