mollyshark said... I just bought this same material for a very different style dress. Going to be making a similar Runway pattern though and I'm really seeing mixed reviews on them. I'd better check out which piece is which before I dig in! Silky is a little difficult to deal with because of the sliding around. You were brave to start with it. But you know, it looks very cute! Don't sweat it. 5/30/08 9:38 AM

Good job for your perseverance. I'm sure you learned a lot in the process anyway, and the top does look cute. 5/30/08 10:00 AM

I did just that when I was only 17 and they had to admit they were wrong ( it was a question of the instructions then ) It did a good deal for my confidence after that. 5/31/08 5:36 PM
