But then lucky me - I was browsing on Kestrel's comments for her Spring Swap and clicked your website AND THERE IT WAS! That lovely dress!! <br />It is just beautiful and now I am in awe that you made up the pattern yourself! Congratulations! Hope you had a great day out.Nessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029381870073249449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377620838801577196.post-13321754398080602212013-04-22T15:08:58.574+01:002013-04-22T15:08:58.574+01:00thanks brooke! hubby will always only take pics o...thanks brooke! hubby will always only take pics outside (and i know that's what they recommend) but i like indoor pics too as i don't end up squinting into what little sun we get! i am all about the bias facings from now on - so much easier and more comfortable to wear!Sew little timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027164681383524032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377620838801577196.post-90163202567600194392013-04-22T15:03:10.695+01:002013-04-22T15:03:10.695+01:00Oh, I like it even better seeing your indoor/less ...Oh, I like it even better seeing your indoor/less harsh light photos! And it's beautiful on the inside too! When I enlarge a photo, looks like it's a synthetic herringbone twill fabric.<br /><br />I rarely use facings myself. Bias edging is probably my number one substitute for them. Great job with your finishing details! =)Brookehttp://customstyle.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
