Thank you! I'm at the "what was I thinking" phase with it, but it's wonderful to see the end nearly in sight. and you can see from my happy face in one of the pics that I'm really rather pleased with it!

Thank you all! That trim is somewhere in the region of 100 handmade (by me) silk roses, 25 metres of hand gathered silver lace, flounces and furbelows all cut by hand, and the only thing I can say about the pleated flounce is thank heaven for the good old singer ruffler foot!

It's utterly bonkers, but yes, now its done it is rather pretty!
