But its totally cute, right?! Actually I have the real dress almost finished - and omg sis - you'll love it! It's a BIT of a princess dress!! <br /><br />I had to learn the hard way about doing the practice round. Its just so heartbreaking when you put in all the time and effort and you end up with a total disaster. Like, if this had been my final dress in my pretty fabric... I'd probably have a nervous breakdown... So I'm a believer in muslins, if only to protect my own sanity.

I keep checking it out - and I don't think they're there! Anyway - NO - its not just you! Its kind of a bizarre pattern. There is more ruching in the front than the back, but I'm kind of okay with that - I just felt like I had a lot of extra length right at my shoulder blades and the shoulders kept falling down so it looked like a bad 90's prom dress! sallieforrernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937322106192241083.post-56426215212385328722012-03-21T14:44:22.744-07:002012-03-21T14:44:22.744-07:00Totally a great dog name!

Did no one test it before it got printed?! What I did to deal with the shoulder issue is gather way more in the back. I felt like there were way more ruching in the front and the back looked weird until I gathered it about 2-3 inches higher than they called for. But good call on the shortness issue. The only way I can wear this in public is with a super matte black tight because otherwise Howdy Booty!<br /> Heather Lounoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937322106192241083.post-54208640377420435812012-03-21T08:13:36.622-07:002012-03-21T08:13:36.622-07:00It's very cute!
