kokuryu, this is gorgeous! It is immaculately sewn and beautifully designed. How does the little petticoat work? Is it part of the dress or separate?

It is beautiful! I especially love the effect, that one side is black, because of the fabric cut, that gives a nice contrast. Was that intended?

Yeah, it was intended to be this way.
Thank you so much, psychorat! :)

So so stunning!! and look at those seams, my favourite thing in the world is a well pressed french seam, but i never thought of finishing it with a bow. Its very very impressive. I suspect your going to have a lot of fun wearing this one!
