And ...Thank you Jo! It was a lovely dress to wear! <br />And thanks about my hair too - I don't think I'll be growing it much longer than this (mainly because it's really thick and there's too much of it when it's long!), but I'm liking having it a bit longer than it was.Ruth - Nightingale and Dolittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06598582222979563780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492251489122148012.post-79638207701627809052016-09-24T18:10:03.980+01:002016-09-24T18:10:03.980+01:00You look absolutely gorgeous, Ruth!

I couldn't even see that there were princess seams so you've done a fantastic job of pattern matching. Your hair is looking lovely as well, are you growing it long?

Your pattern matching is enviable, and I'm impressed that you were able to modify the fit of the sleeves so much without accidentally turning them into tiny straight-jackets (which is what would have happened to me). Where did you find such perfectly matching shoes?Caitlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252532446979150096noreply@blogger.com
