Lovely! I was just thinking this afternoon that I need to start sewing myself up some skirts and dresses now that spring is here. Thanks for the inspiration!

It's lovely! And I like the way you used the print to give the illusion of shapeliness-- I wouldn't have thought of that!

That really is superb fabric....I hope you got extra for yourself even if you don't use it for a while, Meg. I have to say flower placement is hard, hard, hard. I have a dress with a tiger lily that ended up at the waist when I really wanted it higher up.

I am so envious of that fabric. It's the perf...

I can see that you need to be careful with print placement, you did a perfect job, it looks great - modern and retro at the same time somehow. Nice to hear dresses are popular with young girls again. Enjoy the royal wedding!

I LOVE the placement! It's so flattering / visually arresting on the waist.

Very pretty! I like the perfect print placement.

Oh I love it, the print and especially the surprise facing color. Tell Annie I'm stealing that design!

What a great print. You are so right: the strategic placement of the print does add waste definition. Smart thinkin'!

I meant to comment on your tunic below - the combination of fabrics with the gold trim works so well. I'm dubbing you the Queen of Trim. Seriously, when I approach a project, I need to think "WWLD?" - what would Lindsay do? I find your trim choices so inspiring.

The fabric certainly makes a statement! Looks great on her and is beautifully made. Loved the comment about making it tighter - had a very familiar ring.

Yes, early to bed tonight, girls . . . much festivities tomorrow before the dawn's early light! Check out Cidell's link for Earl Grey martinis . . . I think I may indulge in one while Kate walks down the aisle (at 5 a.m. East Coast time).
