    Congratulations, Gertie!! I really like your variation, and everyone else’s creations were great, too.

    I’m actually the creator of the green dress. . . I think the mix-up is because my real name is Katie G, but my internet alter-ego is prudencerabbit. ;)

    Congratulations Gertie! Katie, yours was my favorite! MJB14 sorry you weren’t in there, I really liked your version too. I also recall a gorgeous gray dress with beading at the neckline, I really wish to see all the creation again.
    Thanks to all those 253 votes!!!! I already have professional photos that my dear husband took :)
