Using a shower curtain - how very Sound of Music! It's a great looking dress - I especially love the piping!

I love that fabric. Wish we had an Ikea nearby... I'm going to look at sheets and shower curtains with a sewer's eye from now on...

I've been in love with this dress since it popped up on the website. It looks adorable. I thought it would be so dressy, but you've made it fun and casual too.

Love the shower curtain! I have a shower curtain from Garnet Hill in my stash that is also waiting for a good dress - I like the stiffness of the curtain!

I loved this dress when I first saw it. I have the fabric picked out for it too BUT the shower curtain idea is too cool. Great dress.

Gorgeous dress, beautiful photo shot. Seeing your photos reminds me of my London living days and trawling the fabric stalls on Walthamstow market.

Shower curtain! I had to read that three times and kept looking at your photos to be sure. I would never have guessed your lovely dress had a former life. :) Very pretty.

Very cute dress! I think I need to run over to IKEA and look at their shower curtains as the first thing I noticed was the great fabric you used!

Great dress!! Ilove that you used a shower curtain-very clever; and string from the hardware store to make your own piping-very resourceful. Your dress is so pretty on you, well done!

I am so amused with the appropriateness of your dress for the event! Sure beats a garbage bag, huh!!! :) Enjoyed seeing this fabulous dress again!!

Ooh, you meant a synthetic shower curtain! That's great, couldn't have been better for the Mud Festival :-). I love the dress, but I must confess I'd kill for the pink wellies :-).
