  I love it! Great color and it looks really nice on you :) And btw, you should definitely start watching gilmore girls!!! I think it’s about my favorite show ever. I just starting watching the reruns again, and realized how much I missed it. It’s about to start on the 2nd season next week on abc family, so jump in. wow, i’m really obsessed…

  Fantastic job! What a great use of the binding. You have inspired me to actually finish the trim on my version.

    Thanks! This is a sign I need to start watching this show – all week Gilmore Girls has been popping up everywhere. Spring break = trip to library.

  I’ve been eyeing Erdronen’s awesome pattern for a while now.. your dress looks fantastic! The finishing is so nice! How much fabric did you end up needing, with your modifications?

    I bought two and a half yards, which I didn’t think would be enough … but with careful placement of all the pieces it ended up being perfect! This was enough fabric for the addition of long sleeves and the extension of the one strap, too.

  very pretty on you! I also prefer an invisible stitch rather than a topstitch on jersey. Though I bet I will get tired of hand stitching one of these times :)
