That's so cool. I love the tea gown and the black gown....they give me such great ideas on a couple of my future gowns.

What a great site! Thank you for sharing with us, Kat! I have always loved that front laced dress and I love that they shared how it is constructed from the underdress and the sleeveless polonaise. That may show up in my repertoire some day!

Circles are highly over rated. Don't you know it is hip to be square???

Some people are like slinkies. They aren't good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Don't worry about what people think; they don't do it very often.

That site goes in my "favorite places" for sure. That black Worth gown?..... WOW. And the front laced gown is intriguing.

Must have that black gown! It's so gorgeous! It's on my list for my "Black gowns" project next year.
