That's the kind of thing I probably wouldn't think to do but then it would drive me nuts if they fell in a way I didn't like. My low level OCD would kick in. Also, this is so colorful! It's going to look great on you.balyienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785839636620293326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823861851109958324.post-11480049656999488292014-08-10T08:29:59.402-07:002014-08-10T08:29:59.402-07:00Julie found the fabric.

To which, in the style of how we move through the fabric store, I said, "I kind of like it." She decided she did like it, commenting that it looked like a sheen of gasoline on a puddle. <br /><br />Julie is my hem lady and her mother and mother-in-law were there for the hemming. That was my first taste of how successful this dress was, because I came out and they both gasped. Then, while Julie was marking my hem, her mother said, "it's like the sunset and the land and the ocean all in one." It was very cute.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967372439743853589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823861851109958324.post-10510243940198318412014-08-10T04:53:55.115-07:002014-08-10T04:53:55.115-07:00I am so excited to see this reveal (on my next tab...I am so excited to see this reveal (on my next tab...hee hee).
