This morning I was working on a dress that was nearly finished, however, I struck a big problem involving the sleeves! Oh dear! A bit frustrated, I decided to ease my mind by starting a new project! And here it is! I’ve been wanting to make a dress with this kind of back for a while, I didn’t use a pattern, and so the front kind of just ended up like that, in an attempt to make it a bit fitted! I’m very happy with it!

I love the back of this dress so much! I have wanted to create a dress with a back like this for sometime now. I think I just need to do it. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you!! The shoes are great aren’t they! I was so excited when I saw them for $10… then when I went to pay for them they were actually only $5!!! So I bought another pair in black! Bar-gain!!!

Oh, that’s just like putting salt in wounds!! Haha, just kidding:D That really was a great deal, I hope I could find such lovely shoes too:)

Ohh, I’m sorry! Haha. Well, it was pretty recently so they might still have them! What size are you? :P

Did you buy them online? If so it would be great if you could give me a link for example:) Still I don’t want to wish too much because I’m quite big size (42, it’s maybe like 10 or something.. ) :’’)

Well!! I went to the store where I bought them, but they sold out a while ago, so I couldn’t buy a pair for you… BUT!! I found them for sale on their website, and they come in more colours too! And there’s heaps more cute shoes to choose from. They are a little bit more expensive, but they’re still only $29.95 which is pretty good!! And they do come in your size – I’m the same size as you! :)

Oh, I’m so impressed and also abashed that you’ve done so much for me, I really didn’t expect that so THANK YOU!! You’re such a kind person:) The site looks very promising and the prises are very reasonable, so we’ll see what happens, hehe.. :D And fun to know that someone has as “big” feet as I have;D Sometimes it feels that everyone’s size is like 5 or something…

Naww, you’re welcome! And yes, it’s nice to know there are larger footed ladies out there :P . . . Although I’m a bit of a funny one, because one foot is a size 10 and the other is a 9! Hard finding shoes that fit both feet okay! :P
Take care and happy sewing!!
