Here's the dress I've been working on...the bottom of the skirt isn't hemmed, because it's probably going to have a ruffle added.

I guess my eyes did need to acclimate a bit. Maybe the focusing issue will improve over the next couple of days. If not I'll mention it at America's Best when I go on ( Read more... )
