When you're working, a big wardrobe is useful, but nowadays, casuals seem good for most things huh!<br />I like the process and how the tailors dummy turned out, I think the fabric was a really happy accident!.Julia Dunnithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164574850662878118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-26546404751185180402014-07-20T11:39:22.856-05:002014-07-20T11:39:22.856-05:00I absolutely adore this and your take on fashion! ...I absolutely adore this and your take on fashion!

Its the way you work, and although, in my opinion, your pieces are quite often 'simple' looking, many have gone through several processes and end up with a lot of depth and character and invariably have a story. I thoroughly enjoy reading your process tales. Thank you for sharing. <br />I would never be considered a fashionista by even the most wondrous of imaginations. I have been called 'colourful' and 'adventurous' but never chic, or glam, lol. I cannot match colours and will probably be the local bat(ty) lady one day, lol.<br />Finally, thank you so much for your recent comment on my final SoC/craft barn piece. I love to see your name pop up in my email :o))TwinkleToes2dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07848604298196551253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-9969132642914075182014-07-19T12:00:28.565-05:002014-07-19T12:00:28.565-05:00I think this is Wonderful!!

But you could never call me a fashionista--my DD, yes, me? Definitely Not!<br /><br />I really like how you rose to this challenge anyway and enjoyed seeing the finished piece. She somehow reminds me of a ballerina.

That is most girls dream come true. <br />I am not a fashion type either, few clothes worn over and over for years. I like old comfy clothes vs. new scratchy not washed 50x times clothes, lol. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing! dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763553809671436129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-77190468988987977822014-07-18T15:39:58.358-05:002014-07-18T15:39:58.358-05:00I think it turned out very well...obviously not yo...I think it turned out very well...obviously not your original vision but I like what you did.
