I know how you feel about fabric tho- so frustrating when you find you are working with something the iron makes shiny or melts! I avoid anything synthetic too- not worth the stress! <br />The sleeves and skirt shape look lovely to me! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-53395254988070571802013-06-25T18:42:27.447+01:002013-06-25T18:42:27.447+01:00Thank you Lucy, I've been trying really hard t...Thank you Lucy, I've been trying really hard to make things neat and tidy on the inside so they last!

The fabric looks well-behaved in the photos so sorry to hear it gave you so much grief. In any case,your finishing looks amazing (my Elizalex isn't nearly so neat and tidy on the inside, though am aiming for another attempt). Well done, and hope the dress grows on you as it looks lovely and deserves an outing :)Lucynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566831796183567008.post-76972012677428871552013-06-22T17:33:03.886+01:002013-06-22T17:33:03.886+01:00Thank you Lynne!
