dress

i made this dress for a beautiful lady i know and yes i agreed to do it the night before a big move, maybe i'm crazy but she was such a big help to us in takamatsu, plus about one of the most charming people i've ever met. i wanted to do something. she had been telling me i have this fabric...i have this fabric can you do something with it. so eventually i took the fabric and it was actually sewn into a large tube not woven but sewn together so i worked with that. we discovered at the fitting it could be worn two ways! great!
on another note she looks royal in it. we are about the same size except T is taller, anyway, when i tryed it on blagh it looked awful with my blonde hair and light skin. but it looks chic on her. i really feel like her father in law picked the prefect fabric for her, she could where it with earthy sandals for a trip to the grocery store and throw a little black cardigan with some cute flats for dinner. not to be OTT about this but i was thankful T gave me the opportunity to make something i am proud of and she looks great in! she's so radiant anyway it's hard to make T look bad ;)
