It's like "Project Runway" in your living room. Way fun.

I LOVE THE FABRIC! I love birds. Well... from a distance and as decorative pieces. I don't really want the live ones near me... :\
Where did you get the fabric? Is it available online? I'm seriously in love with it!
The dress would even look really cute with a cardigan over it! Great job! Wish I was as inspired to sew :[

And ps... awesome find on the dress form!
I've been wanting to get one. I've seen them at Ross, but they're $30 and metal. So I think they're supposed to be more decorative then functional.

It's so cute!!! I love it!

Such a great dress! I love pictures of birds.

I was just going to ask where you got the dress form from. That's cool. I thought of you today as I was at the sewing expo in Puyallup. Tonight we listened to these two ladies talk about and show us things they have made out of other clothes. Like t-shirts and sweaters and even old prom dresses. It was great. I'll email you their websites.

Beautiful fabric! Love, love, love it!

Beautiful! I need to come over and take sewing lessons from you. I sew, but I have to have a pattern to follow or it doesn't turn out right.
