I designed and crafted this dress and it actually fits! Wahoo! Also by me is the headband, which my dad just looks at and shakes his head.
And I do believe my eyes are closed in this photo. Just don't look at them, k?
I also convinced Benson to wear the tie I made for him (as taught by my sister).
**Here are a couple of detailed shots, as requested, though the dress is mighty wrinkly from sitting in the dirty clothes since Sunday. <---at first I typed "Sundy" and that made me laugh because that's how my grandma says it. hehe Anyway, thanks for all the nice comments everyone!

well its a gosh darn thing they brought project runway back. can't wait to say i knew one of the contestants in real life! i LOVE it and I'm a size, well actually, i don't know, because i don't buy or make anything.
Wish I could sew. All I do is thread the stupid machine.
YOu are so talented. That ruffling looks extremely hard. You need to post a pic of your artwork that hangs in your house though.
Oh ya, we're alive. We're just insanely busy still! I'll be on here more in a little while!
Miss you! XOXO

Dress form is from PGM, just searched for that online and found them. I really love it! It's not a Wolf, but it also didn't cost me $800. :)
Thanks so much for the close up shots of the dress. It's just beautiful! I seriously love everything about it.
That looks like so much work and detail! Wow! I'm so impressed, but again, not surprised :)
