As queen of "what the hell was I thinking" sewing (which is why you only see KNITTING when I blog), I am completely sympathetic. <br /><br />On the bright side, it's a beautifully constructed cheerleader dress. Not a mistake really, just an opportunity to show off your excellent workmanship. Just look at the way you've matched the pattern on the sleeves. Fabulous!! And those pleats - I bet they are the best pleats in the entire history of pleats! <br /><br />I learn from you every day, Carolyn.

But you are the best judge. It is quite graphic and that I think is out of your comfort zone. Personally, I love graphic prints so maybe that's why I would wear this dres. I guess the bottom line is "would I buy this?" and if the answer is a big No, well that says it all.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.com
