I now have cute and trimmed the panniers for the Wishing gown -
http://www.geocities.com/pisslei/wishing . Next task will be to line them (maybe - not sure yet), attach then to apron/back drape waistband, and drape them in place.
I'm tempted to say that what that is done,t he gown is actually finished - but knowing myself, I'll probably find tons of details to work on before calling the gown "completed".
I have planned a wicked photo shot on a gorgeous location. Just wait and see.... ;)
