She isn't helping, as this period in the life of a young woman finishing high school in Australia barely leaves time for sleeping, if she has acadaemic aspirations :).

You are so clever!<br />I know it is too late, but my suggestion for making a very full, full-length skirt would be to have a hoop skirt/petticoat, and then with just a few layers of tulle over the hoop to soften the look from the outside.<br />I'm sure your daughter is thrilled with how it looks and I cannot wait to see this masterpiece finished :)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-25143966315535707562012-11-01T11:13:39.373+10:002012-11-01T11:13:39.373+10:00Oh my, this is gorgeous,love the colour and the la...Oh my, this is gorgeous,love the colour and the lattice smocking, it will be an amzaing dress.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691687252337993643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-54509165515682856182012-11-01T10:55:43.245+10:002012-11-01T10:55:43.245+10:00Oh, it's going to be amazing!
