starting a new dress

It's amazing the difference that belt makes-- I like the look of the Azalea so much more with it! (Before it looked kind of like a maternity dress to me.) Anyway, it looks lovely.

laying waste to her fabric stash!!

Yeah I must admit I was a bit worried before I put the belt on!! Made a huge difference, I put at my natural waist, but I guess you could experiment with it a bit lower down to make it a bit more casual.

Lovely. Absolutely adorable. Definitely am going to make one. I printed it out awhile ago and I am inspired now. Thanks.
