oh you made me laugh - but I'm glad no houses were hurt in the making. It looks great but I reckon there must be satisfaction in not having to put it back in the bag. I think your extra draping really improved the basic pattern too.

laughed so hard at this dresses story.. I had tears even. You're freakin hilarious! Was great to hear the story because you make it look so effortless in this photo! I agree with Jen. You ended up improving on the original pattern.
